About Lido
Lido is a self-custodial liquid staking protocol governed by the Lido DAO that provides liquidity for staked assets. Users who stake with Lido receive stTokens (like stETH) that represent their staked position plus accrued rewards. These tokens can be used throughout DeFi while still earning staking rewards. Lido also features a decentralized validator set and security through distributed node operators chosen by the DAO.
