P2P Validator Launches Dual stVault Strategy for Institutions and DeFi Users
P2P Validator Launches Dual stVault Strategy for Institutions and DeFi Users
🔧 P2P's staking revolution
P2P Validator is expanding Ethereum staking through Lido V3 stVaults with a dual approach targeting different user segments.
The validator is launching:
- Dedicated stVaults for institutions, DAOs, and family offices
- DeFi Vaults for yield-focused users via Mellow integrations
Key advantages over traditional staking:
- Direct validator attribution and performance transparency
- Isolated, auditable vaults per client
- Composable DeFi strategies built around stETH liquidity
The integration combines institutional control with DeFi composability. Private stVaults offer validator-level transparency with Lido's security, while DeFi Vaults embed into multi-strategy products.
P2P positions itself as one of the first Node Operators to transform Lido into a full DeFi product suite, creating a programmable staking layer for both conservative and yield-driven strategies.

Lido Protocol Unaffected by Balancer V2 Pool Exploits
**Balancer V2 pools suffered exploits today**, but Lido Protocol remains completely unaffected with all user funds secure. **Key actions taken:** - Veda team withdrew Lido GGV's Balancer position as precaution - All Lido Earn funds confirmed safe (SAFU) - Venus Protocol set BAL market LTV to 0% on Ethereum **For existing BAL borrowers:** - New borrowing against BAL is paused - Liquidation threshold stays at 59% - Monitor positions and consider repaying loans or adding collateral The withdrawals were precautionary measures despite positions being unaffected by the exploit.

🔚 Lido SSV Module
**Lido and SSV teams officially end development** of the SSV Lido Module (SSVLM) after thorough review with Clusterform. The **permissionless DVT project** launched in March 2025 aimed to allow any SSV Node Operator to participate in Lido staking through distributed validator technology. **Key developments:** - SSVLM sought to enhance scalability and decentralization - Would have enabled thousands of node operators to join - Offered fault tolerance and lower operational costs **Collaboration continues** between Lido and SSV through: - Rapidly expanding SSV validator adoption - New integration paths via CSMv2 - Ongoing commitment to secure Ethereum staking The teams thank all contributors who helped advance permissionless DVT boundaries over the past year.
