Lido

aid: lido
name: Lido
description: 'Lido is the leading liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, allowing anyone to stake ETH without locking it or
  running validator infrastructure. Stakers deposit ETH and receive stETH — a rebasing ERC-20 that earns daily staking rewards
  — or its non-rebasing wrapped form wstETH used widely across DeFi. Lido is governed by the Lido DAO via the LDO token, Snapshot
  signaling, on-chain Aragon voting, and a Dual Governance timelock that gives stETH holders a dynamic veto over the DAO.
  The protocol''s validator set is delegated across multiple Staking Modules — the Curated Module (professional node operators),
  Simple DVT (distributed validator technology via Obol and SSV), the Community Staking Module (permissionless solo stakers
  backed by bonded stETH), and stVaults (modular tailored setups). At over $18B TVL and 8.8M+ ETH staked, Lido is the #1 liquid
  staking provider by total value locked. Lido previously operated on Polygon (stMATIC, sunset June 2025) and Solana (stSOL,
  sunset February 2024); the protocol is now Ethereum-only. Lido publishes the open-source core smart contracts, a TypeScript
  SDK (`@lidofinance/lido-ethereum-sdk`), a Python oracle daemon, validator monitoring tooling, frontend widgets, and three
  public read-only HTTP APIs for protocol APR, reward history, and withdrawal queue timing.'

- aid: lido:lido-apr-api
  name: Lido APR API
  description: Read-only HTTP API returning the latest stETH staking APR and a 7-day simple moving average APR. Used by integrators,
    dashboards, and DeFi protocols to display Lido's current annualized yield. The Lido V2+ APR is computed from on-chain
    rebase events. A Hoodi testnet endpoint mirrors the same shape.
