customizable node operators and fee structures.
- Early adopters
and launch partners include Nansen,
Linea, and institutional operators like Chorus
One and Everstake.

Liquid staking giant Lido Finance has
officially deployed its stVaults primitive on the
Ethereum mainnet, a cornerstone of the protocol’s highly
anticipated V3 upgrade. The launch represents a
fundamental evolution for Lido, transitioning
the platform from a single liquid staking provider into a shared
infrastructure layer designed to power external developers, Layer
2 networks, and institutional players.
The stVaults framework
introduces isolated, non-custodial smart contracts that
allow users to create “purpose-built” staking setups. Unlike the standard
Lido pool, which operates under a uniform strategy, stVaults enable the
customization of critical parameters, including node operator
selection, reward routing, and bespoke fee
structures. This modularity is intended to solve the
“one-size-fits-all” limitation of traditional liquid staking, providing a
scalable solution for Layer 2 networks and corporate
stakers who require specific compliance or operational
controls.
To maintain the security of the broader protocol, each
stVault is set up as an opt-in and isolated environment,
ensuring that the risks associated with custom configurations remain
separate from other users. The system still allows these vaults to tap into
Ethereum
s staking landscape matures and becomes
increasingly specialized for institutional
demand.
