STETH

Overview

Lido's STETH pool on Ethereum is a liquid staking mechanism where STETH serves as the staked asset representation. The pool generates a base APY of 2.369%, with no additional reward incentives, bringing the total APY to 2.369%. Over the past 30 days, APY has declined 0.077%, while the 7-day change shows a 0.052% decrease from the 30-day mean of 2.554%, indicating modest downward pressure on yields. The pool holds TVL of approximately $18.76 billion; trend data for the 7-day TVL change is unavailable. Primary risk exposure stems from smart-contract vulnerability, as single-asset pools lack impermanent loss exposure but remain subject to protocol-level risks inherent to the staking mechanism.

Risk profile

• Smart contract risk

  Funds are deposited into a smart contract. A bug or exploit in the contract could lead to total loss. Audits reduce, but do not eliminate, this risk. Check the protocol page for audit history.

• Yield variability

  Current APY is 2.17%; 30-day mean is 2.25%. Yields can change as TVL and incentive emissions change.

• DefiLlama yield prediction

  DefiLlama's model classifies this pool's yield as "Stable/Up" with 71% confidence based on historical patterns.
