About Lido DAO

Lido DAO (LDO) is the governance token behind Lido Finance, a leading liquid staking solution for Ethereum and other blockchains. It allows users to stake their crypto assets without locking them up, receiving tradable staked tokens (like stETH) in return. LDO holders participate in key decisions about protocol upgrades, treasury management, and fee structures. The project solves a major pain point in crypto: earning staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. With billions in assets secured, Lido has become essential infrastructure for Ethereum's proof-of-stake ecosystem. The LDO token gives holders a voice in shaping this critical DeFi protocol's future.

[ September Yapping Summary ] There’s a lot going on with the momentum and many things to do, but since it’s the end of the month, we should do a summary!! Let’s get started! [ Yaps ] 9/1 9/30 190 yaps => 266 yaps Gained 76 yaps over the month! Last month it was 59 yaps, so it’s clear that Yapping is heating up! [ Leaderboard (30D basis, including community) ] Beginning of September End of September 22 => 27 It’s not a huge increase compared to August, but there are a few more. The newly onboarded projects haven't made it to the leaderboard yet, and the existing projects have risen in the gaps after a bit of a drop. [ Total Written Posts ] Written posts 247 + short posts a Overall, it was a month where we received rewards for the amount of Yapping done. I focused a lot on Sonic and Portal, and both made it to the leaderboard, so rewards are expected. @Recall started because there’s a Korean allocation, but it got extended by a week to 1000th place. I’m thinking of aiming for the global allocation as well. I started Yaptos because I was envious of receiving rent in Aptos, and it made it to the leaderboard in the August snapshot, so I should be receiving rent soon. Additionally, I wrote about various projects like the newly started @Sentient, which I did a little Yapping for, but didn’t receive Season 2 for Overtake, etc. When people’s interest was drawn by momentum, I also need to finish the short-distance run for @Allora. ZK seems very important this year, so I’m planning to take care of Cysic as well!

Lido DAO FAQ

Lido is a decentralized protocol offering liquid staking services for various Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains. When users stake assets with Lido, they receive tokenized equivalents of their staked tokens on a 1:1 basis. These tokens remain liquid, allowing users to use them across various platforms.

Lido charges a 10 percent fee on staking rewards. Despite being seen by some as a drawback, this rate aligns closely with industry standards, keeping Lido competitive.

Dive deeper into Lido DAO

One of the most significant events in the cryptocurrency industry was Ethereum's mainnet transition to Proof of Stake (PoS). This transition raised concerns due to the 32 ETH requirement to become an Ethereum validator for staking. Lido (LDO) emerged as a liquid staking solution in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, lowering this high entrance barrier and enabling anyone to stake ETH and earn rewards.

What is Lido

Lido is a decentralized protocol offering liquid staking services for several PoS blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), and Polkadot (DOT). Liquid staking addresses a critical issue in PoS staking, namely illiquidity, which occurs when assets are staked and locked, becoming inaccessible for a specific period. Lido overcomes this challenge by offering users liquidity and non-custodial staking solutions, allowing them to retain flexibility and access to their staked assets. By May 2023, Lido's total value locked (TVL) exceeded $11.7 billion, positioning it as the leading liquid staking platform.

The Lido community governs the protocol through the LDO token, empowering holders to vote on improvements, upgrades, and network parameters. This decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) also oversees insurance and development funds.

The Lido team

Lido was launched shortly after the Ethereuem merge in December 2020 by Lido DAO. Lido is governed by the community members and holders of the LDO token. Members of Lido DAO have a proven track record in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Notable contributors include Semantic VC, P2P Capital, ParaFi Capital, BitScale, Julien Bouteloup, and AAVE.

How does Lido work 

When users stake assets in Lido, they receive tokenized representations (like stETH or stDOT) in a 1:1 ratio. These tokenized assets remain liquid and accessible, allowing users to use them on other DeFi platforms, such as Maker DAO and Curve DAO. This enhanced liquidity expands users' opportunities and financial options.

LDO tokenomics

LDO is an ERC-20 token with a capped supply of 1 billion. LDO tokens are instrumental in Lido's governance; the more LDO tokens staked, the more voting power holders have in decision-making processes ranging from protocol upgrades to resource allocation.

LDO distribution

Upon launch, the 1 billion LDO tokens were distributed as follows:

  • 36.32 percent to the Lido DAO treasury
  • 22.18 percent to investors
  • 20 percent to initial Lido developers
  • 15 percent reserved for founders and future employees
  • 6.5 percent to validators and signature holders
