Lido is a liquid staking protocol for Ethereum. Users deposit ETH and receive stETH, a token representing the staked deposit plus accrued rewards, which can be traded, lent or used as collateral while the underlying ETH stays with validators. Those validators are run by a curated set of node operators plus a permissionless community module, coordinated by contracts rather than a custodian. LDO is the governance token of the Lido DAO, which sets fees, admits operators and controls the treasury.
Official resources:
Lido was created in late 2020 by a group of staking and infrastructure firms, with Konstantin Lomashuk, Vasiliy Shapovalov and Jordan Fish commonly named among the founding contributors. It launched shortly after Ethereum's Beacon Chain went live, when staked ETH was locked with no withdrawal path, exactly the problem a liquid staking token solved. Development runs through several contributor organisations under DAO mandates rather than one company. In January 2026 the DAO shipped Lido V3, introducing stVaults and turning the protocol from a single pooled product into configurable infrastructure.
Deposited ETH is pooled and allocated across node operators in validator sized increments. Operators run the validators but never hold user funds; withdrawal credentials point at protocol contracts, so the DAO controls exit rather than the operator. Rewards flow back into the pool and stETH balances rebase to reflect them, while wstETH is a non rebasing wrapper for protocols needing a static balance.
An oracle set reports beacon chain state to the contracts, and fees taken from rewards are split between operators and the treasury. Since Shapella enabled withdrawals, stETH can be redeemed for ETH through a protocol queue rather than only sold on the market.
LDO is a governance token with a fixed maximum supply of one billion. Holders vote on fee levels, operator admission and removal, module parameters, treasury spending and upgrades, using off chain signalling followed by on chain execution. LDO does not entitle holders to staking rewards and is not required to hold stETH, so its case rests on control rights over a large staking system rather than cash flow.
Lido's distinguishing feature is scale combined with composability. stETH is one of the most widely integrated assets in DeFi and is accepted as collateral across major lending markets, which makes it useful in ways a plain staking receipt is not.
Permissionless staking protocols let anyone run a validator by posting bonded collateral, favouring decentralisation but limiting capacity. Exchange staking is simple but fully custodial. Lido sits between them: operators are vetted by governance, users keep a transferable token, and the Community Staking Module opens participation to smaller stakers.
Withdrawal credentials are held by protocol contracts, so an operator cannot abscond with deposits, and misbehaviour can be met with removal by governance. Contracts are open source, extensively audited and covered by a public bug bounty. Governance is itself a security surface, with upgrades passing through votes and timelocks.
The most discussed concern is concentration. A large share of staked ETH flowing through one protocol raises questions about validator diversity and censorship resistance, and the DAO has pursued modules to spread participation. stETH can trade below ETH during stress, which matters for leveraged positions even though redemption exists. Slashing, oracle failure and contract bugs remain possible, and staking services face regulatory scrutiny.
Lido demonstrated that staked ETH could remain productive, and that pattern now underpins much of on chain lending and yield. It is also a live case study in how a protocol handles becoming systemically large within its own network.
LDO trades on most major centralised exchanges and on Ethereum decentralised exchanges, with bridged versions on Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon. Buying LDO is not the same as staking ETH: staking means depositing into the protocol and receiving stETH.
LDO is a standard ERC-20 token, so wallets such as MetaMask, Rabby or Trust Wallet can hold it, and a hardware wallet paired with one of those keeps keys offline. Governance participation requires the token in a wallet you control rather than on an exchange.
