A team member for Lido has accused competitor Rocket Pool (NASDAQ:POOL) of being too centralized in a July 4 social media post. Both Lido and Rocket Pool are liquid staking protocols that allow users to delegate their cryptocurrency to validators and receive derivative tokens in exchange.
According to the post from Lido’s community staking lead Dmitry Gusakov, the Rocket Pool contracts are controlled by the Rocket Pool team, allowing the team to change any parameters and call any method. This means that Rocket Pool developers can increase the inflation rate to an arbitrarily large percentage or increase fees to up to 100%.
