Lido DAO

About Portfolio

Lido (LDO) is the native token of the Lido protocol, a leading liquid staking platform for Ethereum, Solana, and other PoS networks. It enables users to stake tokens while maintaining liquidity through derivative tokens (e.g., stETH), simplifying staking access and yield optimization.

Governance & Token Utility

The LDO token serves as the native governance asset, enabling holders to vote on protocol parameters, validator selection, fee structure, and treasury use. LDO earns a portion of protocol fees and aligns incentives across stakeholders.
