About Lido Staked Ether
STETH (Lido Staked Ether) is a token that represents Ether (ETH) staked through the Lido platform, allowing users to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. Unlike traditional staking, where ETH is locked up, STETH can be traded or used in DeFi applications. It's a popular choice for investors who want to participate in Ethereum's proof-of-stake network without sacrificing flexibility. STETH is widely integrated across DeFi platforms, offering opportunities for lending, borrowing, and yield farming. Its reliability and utility make it a cornerstone of Ethereum's staking ecosystem.

$LDO is the governance token of Lido DAO, one of the largest Liquid Staking Protocols in the Web3 ecosystem.
1. What is @LidoFinance ?
$Lido is a decentralized protocol that allows users to stake their cryptocurrencies (primarily Ethereum – ETH) without having to lock them for a long period or meet the minimum 32 ETH requirement set by the Ethereum network.
Core product:
When users deposit ETH into Lido, they receive stETH (Lido Staked ETH) in return.
stETH represents the amount of ETH staked plus the staking rewards earned.
This allows users to earn staking rewards while still being able to use stETH in other DeFi activities (such as lending, borrowing, or trading).
2. Utility of the $LDO Token
The $LDO token is not used directly for paying transaction fees or receiving staking rewards.
Its primary purpose is to enable Decentralized Governance within the Lido DAO.
A. Governance Power
$LDO holders have the right to:
Vote on Proposals: Participate in decision-making regarding key updates and changes to the Lido DAO protocol.
Modify Protocol Parameters: Adjust the staking fee rate, decide on the allocation of DAO reserves, and select new node operators.
Upgrade Smart Contracts: Approve critical technical upgrades to Lido’s smart contracts.
B. Tokenomics and Distribution
The distribution of LDO is designed to ensure broad decentralization of governance power:
Wide Distribution:
A significant portion of the LDO supply has been distributed through mechanisms such as public sales, airdrops to early users, and allocations to early-stage investors (subject to vesting schedules over time).
Decentralization:
This wide distribution is essential to ensure that no single entity can fully control or dominate governance decisions within the DAO.

Unpacking the deUSD/xUSD Depeg: Anatomy of a Stablecoin Breakdown
Background Mechanism:
Stream/xUSD operates through recursive lending structures, while Elixir/deUSD is based on stETH/sDAI collateralization combined with futures hedging (long spot/short perpetual). The two systems are interlinked, using each other’s assets as collateral in a closed-loop arrangement. Approximately 40% of the total supply is backed by external capital, with the remainder generated through internal lending loops and hedging yields (~15%+ APY). Reserve verification is not available in real time and relies on Morpho’s exclusive pools and Balancer liquidity.
Stream is currently under legal review by Perkins Coie LLP following a reported $93 million loss disclosed by an external fund manager. The protocol has suspended deposits and withdrawals while securing remaining assets. This has increased uncertainty for holders of xUSD, xBTC, and xETH, as these tokens are widely used as collateral in lending markets and may pose contagion risks if their valuations decline further.
