Lido

1875 Century Park East, Suite 950, Los Angeles, 90067

Overview

Lido is the market leader in Ethereum liquid staking, representing over 80% of that market. Assets staked on Lido are worth over $10 billion and are split across roughly 76,000 individual wallets. The platform removes minimum staking requirements by pooling assets via a DAO and issues a derivative financial product native to Ethereum so staked ETH can be used as collateral in DeFi. Lido supports liquid staking on Solana, Kusama and Terra and planned a Polygon launch later this month. A decentralized autonomous organization governs the project; the DAO had about 90 voting members last year and executives report to the DAO. Around 60 people work full time on Lido, with closer to 100 total contributors.
