Coin verdict · Liquid staking · Updated 2026-04-26
Lido is the largest liquid-staking protocol on Ethereum. stETH represents staked ETH that continues to earn validator rewards while being liquid. LDO is the governance token. Lido's protocol revenue is a fee on staking yield — yield generation is the structural product. Conservative AAOIFI-aligned readings of the staking-yield pass-through are cautious; LDO captures fees on that yield. Excluded under our framework.
