Notes on Lido Finance


  • Lido finance is a liquid staking protocol that offers its services to Ethereum, Terra, Solana, Kusama, and Polygon.
  • It's governed by the Lido DAO through the LDO governance token.
  • Lido's first product was liquid staking for ETH 2.0 deposits on the beacon chain. It allowed users access to ETH 2.0 staking without the 32 ETH deposit requirement and gave them a composable tokenized representation of their staking deposit, stETH.
  • Lido uses a single token model, stETH that represents users' staking deposits. stETH is minted at 1:1 ratio of ether deposited into the Lido platform.
  • Staking rewards accrue to the stETH token through a daily rebasing mechanism.
  • 10% fee on accrued staking rewards that is evenly split between the Lido DAO and node operators.
