The Lido research forum has launched a new proposal suggesting that the DAO authorize a temporary reduction of the first loss protection trigger threshold for the EarnETH treasury during the Kelp event. According to current rules, the protection mechanism of Lido Earn only triggers when the treasury loss exceeds 1% of the holdings. However, the proposal points out that if the shortage of rsETH is resolved through DeFi United, the actual loss may be less than 1%.To ensure that EarnETH users receive full compensation, the proposal suggests a one-time exception during this event, allowing the use of the first loss fund to cover losses below the 1% threshold. The current estimated residual borrowing rate loss is about 400 to 600 ETH.The proposal emphasizes that this move is a one-time arrangement for user protection, brand reputation, and business considerations, and does not change the general 1% rule. Since the rsETH event is expected to be resolved within 5 to 10 days, and the standard voting window is 7 days, the proposal also has a sense of urgency.

The gaming public chain Ronin announced that it will migrate to Ethereum Layer 2 on May 12, during which there will be an approximately 10-hour downtime for on-chain operations. Normal operations will resume after the migration is completed, and its underlying architecture will be built on the OP Stack, with EigenDA integrated as the data availability layer.It is recommended that users unstake RON before the migration date, or the system will automatically unstake for users after the migration is completed. The core goal of this migration is to allow Ronin to leverage Ethereum's security, data availability, and finality capabilities, while injecting mature on-chain gaming infrastructure into the Ethereum ecosystem. As the underlying network for well-known on-chain games like Axie Infinity and Pixels, this move is seen as an important milestone in its ecological development.After the migration is completed, the annual inflation rate of RON will be reduced from over 20% to below 1%, and the treasury will gain continuous income from staking, Sequencer net revenue, and Marketplace fees (which will increase from 0.5% to 1.25%).
