• What Are LDO Goals?

  Lido aims to allow users to stake ether without losing the ability to trador otherwise use their tokens. Lido
  will be a decentralized infrastructure for issuing a liquid token that is er than exchange staking and has
  incredible flexibility compared to self-staking.

  2. Allow users to earn rewards for any deposit they choose, without restrictions on deposits other than 32 ether.
  3. Reduce the risk of losing your stake due to software errors or malicious third parties;
  4. The stETH token can be used as a building-block for other applications or rotocols.

• What are the LDO Tokenomics?

  Lido has two tokens: liquid stETH token — a tokenized version of staked ethereum — and LDO — a token granting governance rights in the Lido DAO.
  1. stETH token
  The stETH is a tokenized form of staked Ether. The stETH token is the equivalent amount when a user deposits ether in the Lido liquid stake smart contract. The stETH is a token that represents Lido users' deposits, staking rewards, and penalties. The stETH is a liquid option for staked ether. It can be traded, transferred or used with DeFi applications. Lido tracks the balance of beacon chain tokens and stETH. The balance of stETHs of an individual user corresponds 1:1 to the amount of ether that a user would receive if instant withdrawals and enabled were available. Ethereum 2.0 transfers, smart contracts and other features are planned for Phase 2. The Lido DAO, once these features are implemented, will upgrade Lido so that users can burn stETH in exchange for Ether. The fact that the stETH balance is linked to the amount of beacon chains should drive the stETH/ETH rate. However, there are other factors that affect the market price. Market risk exists that the supply of stETH will exceed the demand. The Lido's goal is to provide liquidity to ether staked in the beacon chain. However, this same liquidity also makes it possible to trade the token on exchanges. It is the only way for stETH to make money before Phase 2 deployment. Tokens stETH can also be used for various decentralized financial services. As an example, stETH can be used as collateral. The more stETH is adopted in DeFi applications, then the greater the demand for it.
  
  2. LDO token
  Lido DAO is responsible for a number of liquid staking protocol, Lido being one. Lido DAO determines Lido’s key parameters, such as fees and upgrades Lido. Lido is governed by the Lido DAO to ensure its stability and efficiency. To vote in the Lido DAO one must own its governance token LDO. The voting weight of LDO is proportional with the amount that a voter stakes into the voting contract. The greater the voting power of a voter, the more LDO is locked into the contract. Like other DAO applications, the exact mechanism for LDO voting is upgradeable.

• How Is the Lido DAO Network Secured?

  The funds are locked in a smart contract and therefore not accessible to validators. The holders of LDO tokens vote for the Lido DAO, which vets, selects and onboards new node operators. They also penalizes existing node operators who are subject to chain rules.
  Lido has also partnered with Immunefi, the leading DeFi bug-bounty program. The program offers a bug bounty of $2,000,000. Lido Bug Bounty Programs focus on avoiding fund losses for users, denial-of-service, governance takeovers and data leaks. Lido has awarded $250,000 in Bug Bounties for seven bugs.
