Discover Lido V3, the Modular Institutional Staking Solution on Ethereum

At Stakely, we are excited to announce our official participation in Lido V3, one of the most significant advancements in Ethereum staking. As Early Adopters, we have launched a stVault managed by Stakely, designed to offer our clients a personalized, secure, and efficient staking experience.

In this blog, we explain everything you need to know about Lido V3, stVaults, and how our stVault can help you multiply your Ethereum staking position.

What is Lido V3?

Lido V3 is the latest evolution of Lido, the most relevant liquid staking protocol on Ethereum. With the introduction of stVaults, Lido V3 allows users to customize their staking preferences, select trusted node operators, and optimize their rewards while maintaining access to stETH liquidity. This represents a significant leap in the decentralization and efficiency of staking.

What are stVaults in Lido V3?

stVaults in Lido V3 allow stETH holders to optimize their returns through restaking strategies and other value-generating mechanisms. These stVaults act as additional layers on top of Lido, where curators and protocols can design customized strategies that maximize rewards for depositors.

In this new model, different actors play a key role:

• Stakers: institutional investors, banks, asset managers, and ETF/ETP issuers can use stVaults to optimize their staking strategies.
• Builders: node operators, protocols, curators, and LRTs develop strategies for stVaults.
• stVaults: specific products within Lido V3 that enable restaking and yield optimization strategies.
• Lido Core: the foundational infrastructure of Lido that maintains the security and decentralization of the protocol.

The key differentiator of stVaults is their opt-in model, allowing each stVault to interact with restaking networks and protocols that best align with their strategy, based on the risks they are willing to take.

Lido V3 with Mellow Finance and Symbiotic

Lido V3 is an initiative developed by Lido Alliance to add value to stETH through partnerships with aligned projects. In this new initiative, Lido V3 is launching in collaboration with Mellow Finance and Symbiotic, two projects that expand staking and restaking possibilities:

• Mellow: facilitates the launch of custom LRTs backed by stETH.
• Symbiotic: provides a modular and permissionless infrastructure for restaking, adapting to different risk profiles.

What benefits do stVaults offer?

Users who deposit their stETH in a stVault can access multiple reward layers:

• Restaking of stETH: allows users to maximize the utility of their stETH by leveraging additional DeFi opportunities.
• Staking rewards: stakers continue to earn rewards for staking their stETH on the network.
• Additional rewards based on the stVault strategy: depending on the stVault curator, such as Stakely, users can benefit from specific strategies that enhance their returns.
• Points in Mellow and Symbiotic: additional points from these ecosystems, which could translate into future rewards!

Stakely's stVault: a secure and optimized strategy

As one of the launch partners of Lido V3, Stakely will launch its own stVault for stETH, designed to attract TVL and provide strategic benefits to clients interested in a low-risk investment profile.

What makes this stVault unique?

• Active staking management: we optimize yield through advanced restaking and shared security strategies.
• Collaboration with key partners: you will benefit from strategic partnerships that enhance both the security and performance of the stVault.
• Liquidity attraction: we will bring liquidity through institutions, DeFi protocols, and strategic ecosystem players.

Stakely's goal with this stVault is to offer an attractive yield solution for stETH and ETH holders looking for an efficient and secure approach. Are you ready to join?

In summary, Lido V3 marks a milestone in the evolution of liquid staking on Ethereum, allowing users to optimize their yield through personalized strategies via stVaults. If you want to maximize your stETH potential with a strategic and reliable approach, join this new era of staking with Stakely and Lido V3. We will be sharing more details about our stVault soon...
