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.

    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.

      Read-only HTTP API returning a per-address stETH reward history including
      USD/EUR/GBP fiat conversions, with options to filter to rewards-only,
      sort, paginate, and choose archival rate sources. Used by wallets, tax
      tools, and accounting integrations to surface a staker's accrued rewards.

      Read-only HTTP API for the Lido stETH withdrawal queue. Returns estimated
      finalization times for one or more withdrawal request IDs, and can
      forecast the expected wait time for a hypothetical withdrawal amount.
      Used by the Lido staking widget and third-party UIs that surface unstake
      timing.

      Service that exposes node operator validator keys from each Lido staking
      module (Curated, Simple DVT, CSM) for use by deposit security
      infrastructure, validator monitoring, and integrators. Open-source under
