## What happened

A primary governance proposal specifies removing Wormhole from Lido's Ethereum-to-BNB governance route and reducing destination confirmations from three of four adapters to two of three.

## What changed

The proposed configuration trades a three-bridge forgery threshold for a two-bridge threshold while restoring tolerance to one remaining bridge outage.

## What did not change

The record does not establish an approved vote or executed configuration change. It proposes no change to core Ethereum stETH withdrawal mechanics.

## Confirmed

- The proposal identifies CCIP, Hyperlane and LayerZero as the remaining adapters.
- It specifies destination-controller calls to reject Wormhole deliveries and require two confirmations, followed by disabling Ethereum forwarding through Wormhole.
- The governance record identifies the BNB CrossChainExecutor as owner of wstETH and associated bridge contracts.
- The stated next step is an upcoming on-chain vote through Dual Governance.

## Still open

- Approval, vote identifier and execution transactions are not established.
- The proposal's account of lost Wormhole automatic delivery and current route availability has not been independently reproduced.
- The proposal describes immediate destination execution without a guardian veto window; current deployed authority and delay settings require verification.
- The approximately $4 million bridged exposure is the author's dated estimate.

## What it means for an advisor

- Review the Lido diligence file's BNB wstETH owner-authority and messaging assumptions, including the proposed two-bridge compromise threshold.
- Verify current route availability, destination controls and eventual execution before updating the authority map.
