Lido V3 Introduces Modular Staking with stVaults

Announced on Tuesday, Lido v3 allows users to customize their staking strategies around Lido’s stETH token.

With stVaults, Lido v3 enables stakers to personalize their Ethereum staking experience by selecting node operators and configuring validation infrastructure.

Launched in 2020, Lido provides a liquid staking alternative for Ethereum users, allowing them to earn staking rewards without locking up ETH.

Lido’s stETH token represents staked ETH but is not directly pegged to its value, accruing rewards over time. The protocol charges a 10% fee on staking rewards, split between node operators and the Lido DAO treasury.

Lido Strengthens Market Leadership in Liquid Staking

Lido remains the dominant liquid staking provider, with over $49.825 billion in total value locked (TVL) and more than 50% of Ethereum’s liquid staking market, according to DefiLlama. The platform also lowers entry barriers by enabling ETH staking without the minimum 32 ETH required for direct staking on Ethereum’s Beacon Chain.

The introduction of native vaults further enhances Lido’s capabilities, allowing users to implement personalized staking setups, including adjustable fee structures, validator configurations, and risk-reward profiles.
