    Potential smart contract vulnerabilities also pose a risk to users staking ETH through Lido. Smart contracts are complex pieces of code that, if flawed, can be exploited by malicious actors.

    One of the risks is slashing, which refers to the penalty imposed on validators who violate the rules of the Ethereum network.
