Dima Gusakov says malicious node operators could redirect staker ETH during the fork transition, after a proposed spec fix was closed as not planned Ethereum ’s next big upgrade is supposed to make the network better. Lido’s head of engineering thinks it could also briefly make it easier to steal stakers’ ETH. On October 20, 2026, Dima Gusakov, Head of Engineering at Lido Finance, publicly flagged a potential front-running attack. The risk targets delegated staking protocols during the transition to the Glamsterdam hard fork. The window is narrow, but the stakes involve the deposits that make liquid staking work.
