Lido DAO (LDO) is a decentralized autonomous organization focused on providing staking infrastructure across multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum. It allows users to stake their Ethereum (ETH) and receive stETH (Lido staked ETH) tokens in return, representing both the staked ETH and any potential rewards. The platform’s native token, LDO, functions as the governance token, giving holders the ability to participate in governance proposals and vote on protocol decisions. Lido DAO aims to make staking more accessible by pooling ETH from multiple users, removing the need for technical expertise or large minimum staking amounts.

Lido DAO operates through smart contracts on the Ethereum network, managing user deposits and distributing staking rewards. When users stake ETH, they receive stETH tokens, which maintain a 1:1 ratio with their staked ETH and can be used in other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols or traded on secondary markets. This system offers users liquidity while participating in staking. The LDO token enables governance within the DAO, allowing token holders to vote on decisions related to protocol upgrades, integrations, and operational changes.

Lido DAO simplifies Ethereum staking by allowing users to pool ETH without needing the technical expertise or the 32 ETH minimum required to run a validator node. This opens staking participation to a broader audience while offering liquidity through stETH tokens, which can be traded or used in DeFi protocols like lending or yield farming. stETH provides a flexible way to earn staking rewards while maintaining access to liquid assets. Lido DAO also enables governance participation, with LDO token holders voting on proposals that shape the platform's development and integrations.

Lido DAO was founded in 2020 by Konstantin Lomashuk, Vasiliy Shapovalov, and Jordan Fish, with support from investors such as Semantic VC, ParaFi Capital, Libertus Capital, and StakeFish. Initially focused on Ethereum staking, the platform later expanded to other networks like Polygon but discontinued support for Solana. Lido DAO has undergone multiple third-party security audits to ensure protocol safety. As of the last update, the circulating supply of LDO tokens was approximately 879 million, representing around 88% of the total token supply. The DAO continues to evolve with active community governance and protocol updates.
