Briefings
A Lido engineer reported that a planned staking deposit hijack at the Glamsterdam node was cancelled after the node's author confirmed pre-deposit checks were implemented as a defense mechanism. The incident occurred in October 2026, and the consensus-specs issue was officially closed as 'not planned' following the author's statement.
Key points
- The consensus-specs issue was officially closed as 'not planned' following the author's confirmation that pre-deposit checks were implemented.
- The incident involved a staking deposit hijack at the Glamsterdam node, which was prevented by the node's author's stated defense mechanism.
Context
This finding addresses a potential security vulnerability in Lido's consensus-specs implementation, specifically regarding staking deposits at the Glamsterdam node. The engineer's report indicates that the issue was averted through the adoption of pre-deposit checks, a standard defense against such attacks.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single engineer's report and the node's author's confirmation. The specific date of the hijack attempt is unknown, and the exact nature of the pre-deposit checks is not detailed in the source.
