PANews reported on February 11 that according to The Block, Ethereum staking solution Lido has launched its latest version. With the release of Lido v3, the protocol introduced "stVaults" (i.e. modular smart contracts) to bring greater flexibility to its liquidity staking infrastructure. These vaults are designed to enable users to design advanced staking strategies around Lido's stETH tokens. The protocol also allows ETH holders to stake without holding the 32 ETH required to stake directly on the Ethereum beacon chain. While liquid stETH tokens can be used almost anywhere ETH is available, the introduction of native vaults will increase the flexibility of the protocol by enabling personalized staking settings, including adjustable fee structures, validator configurations, and risk-return characteristics.
