What is Lido

Lido is a liquid staking protocol for Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks.

When staking with Lido you receive a liquid staking token in return, in this case stSOL. This token allows you to earn daily staking rewards on your Solana whilst taking part in the many, many opportunities available across the Solana DeFi ecosystem - from farming on Orca to collateralization on Raydium.

Too many options across Solana? Not sure whether to stake or put your tokens to use on another protocol? Use Lido to do both.

Our goal with Lido is to let you do both. Take part in the essential task of staking - securing and strengthening the underlying network - whilst putting your tokens to work in the growing DeFi space to maximise your rewards.
