What’s new? On February 25, Lido Finance, a staking platform, recorded a record daily inflow of deposits of 150 100 ETH (about $240 million). This event automatically activated a security feature called Staking Rate Limit. According to blockchain analysts at Lookonchain, the TRON blockchain founder and Huobi exchange CEO Justin Sun contributed this amount to the platform in four transactions.

What is Staking Rate Limit? The feature is a dynamic mechanism that responds to large inflows of funds and eliminates possible side effects in the form of reduced rewards without having to suspend new deposits. The mechanism reduces the amount of stETH (staked ETH) generation at a certain point in time based on the last deposits (sliding 24-hour window), restoring this amount later on a block-by-block basis at a rate of about 6200 ETH per hour.
