Lido

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.

Lido publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Liquid Staking, Ethereum, Staking, DeFi, and stETH.

Lido’s developer surface includes documentation, developer portal, engineering blog, CLI, tooling, YouTube channel, and 54 more developer resources.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 90 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 10. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 90% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/lido: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
