Overview: What is Lido Staked Ether (stETH)?

Lido Staked Ether or stETH is a token that represents Ether (ETH) that has been staked on the Lido Finance liquid staking platform. stETH is designed to be a liquidity token. You deposit ETH into a smart contract on Lido’s network in exchange for the same amount of stETH, which can then be traded, exchanged, or borrowed against. Staked tokens are locked up on a network to provide liquidity.

How Did Lido Staked Ether (stETH) Start?

Ethereum moved to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to become more secure and energy efficient. In this new system, ETH owners can stake their cryptocurrency and participate in validating transactions on the Ethereum blockchain in return for annual percentage yield (APY) rewards.

The Ethereum rule for ETH owners who want to become validators states that they must stake at least 32 ETH or contribute to a validation pool; both options lock up these cryptocurrency holdings.

Lido Finance, however, allows ETH owners to stake any amount of Ether in exchange for an equal amount of stETH. This means they can continue to use their holdings as stETH.

How Does StETH Work?

Users of the Lido platform stake ETH by being deposited into a smart contract on the Lido network; they receive stETH in return on a 1:1 ratio.

stETH owners can then use and trade their stETH tokens, and staked ETH on Lido generates an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) rather than an APY. stETH can also be used across other platforms to create additional yields for the owner; these options each have their risks.

How is the stETH Price Determined?

As stETH is a liquidity token exchanged for staked ETH on a 1:1 ratio, Lido staked Ether should follow the price of ETH. So, if the price of ETH rises or falls, stETH price will follow along. Lido staked Ether (stETH) price is influenced by the price of ETH and by the same factors that change the price of ETH.

In early 2022, stETH “decoupled” from the price of ETH amidst cryptocurrency market volatility. The price of stETH fell well below the price of ETH, then tracked ETH’s price at a lower value until later in 2022. stETH price can be within a few dollars of ETH price.

It is important to note that stETH is not a stablecoin.
