On Monday, Lido DAO, a liquid staking solution for Ethereum, provided an update regarding the withdrawal of stETH staked on the protocol following the Shanghai upgrade on the Ethereum blockchain.
The Lido DAO team said on Twitter that stETH withdrawals would launch on the mainnet once all audits concerning on-chain code are completed, which is expected at the end of April. Lido noted its goal was to be ready for its scheduled Ethereum 2.0 network upgrade from Monday evening. However, it claimed node operators would need about four weeks to implement fully and test validator exits once the update goes live.

– Codebase is very close to being finalized. All major fixes have been merged.

– Mainnet upgrade expected mid May.
Ultimately, the Lido DAO platform is undergoing seven Version 2 (V2) audits, with its codebase almost finalized and all significant fixes merged. Lido DAO will also commence a four-week Goerli testnet on March 20, which will be crucial in identifying any remaining issues before the Ethereum withdrawals go live.
