Originally reported by Foresight News on November 12, 2026, at 20:00 (UTC+8). BlockUnion and the Lido Ecosystem Foundation have formed a strategic partnership to explore node operations supporting institutional Vault services based on Lido stVault.
BlockUnion plans to provide validator-node operations and infrastructure management through BU Pool, formerly SNZ Pool, acting as a neutral node operator. It also aims to connect financial institutions in Asia with developers and ecosystem partners. The report describes these as plans, not services already in operation.
BlockUnion plans to direct part of the net fees from future infrastructure operations toward Ethereum community building, technical research, public goods and ecosystem development. The parties also intend to use ETH HK Hub to explore institutional Ethereum-native on-chain finance, participation, education and cooperation.
