UPDATE: LIDO CO-FOUNDERS AND PARADIGM SECRETLY FUND NEW COMPANY SYMBIOTIC TO COMPETE WITH EIGENLAYER IN RESTAKING TRACK - REPORT

Lido co-founders Konstantin Lomashuk and Vasiliy Shapovalov, along with Paradigm, are secretly funding a new company called Symbiotic, which will compete with EigenLayer in the restaking track. Symbiotic will allow users to deposit any asset based on the ERC-20 token standard. This move comes as Lido faces growing competition from liquid restaking protocols and aims to regain market share. A proposal has also been made to establish the Lido Alliance, an Ethereum-aligned ecosystem built around stETH, to endorse new restaking protocols.
