What is Lido Finance?
n
Lido Finance is a leading decentralized liquid staking protocol operating across Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and other blockchains. It solves a critical problem: traditional staking locks your assets, making them illiquid. Lido allows you to lock tokens SOL while receiving tradable stSOL tokens in return. These derivative tokens represent your staked SOL plus accumulated rewards, which can be used across DeFi platforms while your original tokens earn staking yields. Managed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Lido leverages multiple professional node operators to ensure security and uptime.
