Users deposit ETH and receive stETH, which earns daily staking rewards (current APR ~2.3%) and can be traded, used as collateral, or deployed in lending/restaking protocols. - **[Lido Earn](https://lido.fi/)**: A suite of automated yield strategies including **EarnETH** (ETH growth vault allocating ETH/stETH across blue-chip DeFi protocols) and **EarnUSD** (USD-denominated reward strategies with transparent asset selection and risk controls). - **[Simple DVT Module](https://lido.fi/)**: A distributed validator technology module (powered by Obol and SSV Network) that reduces operational risk by allowing groups of 7 node operators to run validators together. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed; total value locked (TVL) is **$16,075,399,016** (as of the latest data on [lido.fi](https://lido.fi/)) - **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$169,000,000** across multiple rounds (Seed $2M, Angel, Venture: $22M, $70M, $24M). - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Andreessen Horowitz (led $70M round), Dragonfly Capital, plus other institutional backers. Over 900 node operators globally and 100+ integrations. - **Growth Signals**: 9,172,288 ETH staked; $2,076,475,575 in rewards paid since 2020; 67 employees (+27.5% YoY); operations in 31 countries; Dual Governance and CSM v2 launched in 2025. ## Competitive Advantages - **Non-custodial design**: No single entity can access or control stakers’ funds. - **Deep liquidity & battle-tested security**: Over $4M invested in security (audits, bug bounties, Web3SOC Grade A certification); open-sourced with continuous peer review. - **Decentralized governance**: Key decisions require public votes by LDO token holders, ensuring accountability to the community. - **Modular product ecosystem**: stETH, wstETH, and Lido Earn vaults provide tailored DeFi exposure. - **Client diversity leadership**: Node operators consistently push for majority client reduction, enhancing Ethereum’s safety. ## Strategic Focus - Continue expanding modular staking products (Lido Earn vaults, Simple DVT Module) to attract both retail and institutional users. - Deepen decentralization through Dual Governance (balancing LDO holders and stETH holders) and the Identified Community Stakers (ICS) framework. - Maintain the highest security standards while scaling node operator diversity and geographic distribution. ## Why Work Here - **Remote flexibility**: Fully remote team with competitive compensation and flexible scheduling. - **Growth mindset**: Personal and professional development built into the role; opportunities for overseas conferences and community immersion in the Ethereum ecosystem. - **Innovative collaboration**: Work on cutting-edge DeFi infrastructure with a global, mission-driven team spanning 31 countries. - **Culture**: Emphasizes transparency, decentralization, and resistance to censorship.
