Lido DAOPrice

(LDO)

Lido DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization that provides a liquid staking solution for proof of stake blockchains, primarily Ethereum. The project was launched in 2020 to address the limitations of traditional staking, where assets are often locked and inaccessible for a set period. By using this protocol, users can participate in network security and earn staking rewards without losing access to their capital. The core innovation of the project is the concept of liquid staking. When a user deposits assets like Ether into the protocol, they receive a derivative token known as stETH. This token represents the user's staked position and automatically reflects accrued rewards. Unlike traditional staking, where tokens are locked in a validator, stETH remains liquid and can be traded, transferred, or used as collateral across various decentralized finance applications. This allows participants to remain active in the broader ecosystem while their underlying assets continue to support the security of the blockchain. The LDO token is the native governance asset of the Lido DAO. It is an ERC-20 token that grants its holders the right to participate in the decision-making process of the protocol. Governance is decentralized, meaning that the community of token holders manages the platform rather than a central authority. Holders can propose and vote on key parameters such as the selection of node operators, the addition of new supported assets, and the management of the DAO treasury. Voting power in the DAO is generally proportional to the amount of LDO held by a participant. This ensures that those with a stake in the project have a voice in its future development. The governance process also covers technical upgrades to the protocol and the distribution of fees. A portion of the staking rewards is typically directed toward node operators and the DAO treasury to fund further development and insurance against potential network penalties. Lido DAO relies on a network of vetted node operators who run the actual infrastructure required for staking. By distributing staked assets across multiple independent operators, the protocol aims to maintain a high level of decentralization and security. The project continues to evolve its governance model, recently introducing dual governance concepts to give users who hold the liquid staking tokens a voice in decisions alongside LDO holders, further balancing the interests of different participants in the ecosystem.
