What is Lido Staked Ether (STETH)?

Source description

“Lido Staked Ether (stETH) is a token that represents your staked ether in Lido, combining the value of initial deposit and staking rewards. stETH tokens are minted upon deposit and burned when redeemed. stETH token balances are pegged 1:1 to the ethers that are staked by Lido and the token’s balances are updated daily to reflect earnings and rewards. stETH tokens can be used as one would use ether, allowing you to earn ETH 2.0 staking rewards whilst benefiting from e.g. yields across decentralised finance products.”

Lido Staked Ether (STETH) FAQ

How does stETH represent an Ether staking position through Lido?

stETH is presented as a token representing Ether deposited for staking through Lido. Its value combines the initial staking deposit with the associated staking rewards. This tokenized structure is intended to let holders retain a transferable representation of staked Ether rather than holding an inactive deposit position directly.

What happens to stETH when Ether is deposited or redeemed?

The project states that stETH tokens are minted when Ether is deposited into Lido and burned when the corresponding position is redeemed. Minting creates the token representation of the staking position, while burning removes that representation during redemption. The specific redemption process, timing, and any applicable fees are not specified here.

How are staking rewards reflected in stETH balances?

stETH balances are updated daily to reflect staking earnings and rewards, according to the project. The token is described as being pegged 1:1 to the Ether staked through Lido, while the balance changes incorporate accumulated rewards. This means a holder’s token balance can change over time as the underlying staking position earns rewards.

How can stETH be used within decentralized finance?

The project says stETH can be used similarly to Ether while allowing holders to continue receiving Ethereum staking rewards. It also presents stETH as usable across decentralized finance products, where it may provide access to additional yield opportunities. The particular applications, risks, eligibility requirements, and returns of those products are not specified.
