About

Lido is a decentralized liquid staking protocol launched in December 2020, shortly after Ethereum's Beacon Chain went live. It allows users to stake ETH without locking assets or maintaining validator infrastructure, issuing stETH tokens that represent staked ETH and accrue staking rewards in real time. stETH integrates with 100+ DeFi applications including Aave, Curve, Uniswap, and Ledger. Governed by Lido DAO and LDO token holders, the protocol operates a distributed set of 800+ node operators across multiple staking modules—Curated, Simple DVT, and Community Staking—to maximize decentralization and resilience. With over $20B in total value locked, Lido is Ethereum's leading liquid staking solution.
