Lido DocsLido Documentation — Liquid Staking & Developer Guides
Explore Lido documentation for liquid staking, stETH, wstETH, DAO governance, contracts, integrations, APIs, security, audits and staking modules. More details.
What is Lido#
Lido provides liquid staking infrastructure that lets users stake digital assets while retaining a transferable representation of the staked position. On Ethereum, stETH and wstETH are central building blocks for staking and DeFi integrations.
The documentation is organized for users, developers, node operators and integrators. Use the navigation to move between governance, token integration, contracts, security, deployed addresses, APIs and staking modules.
Liquid staking#
Liquid staking combines protocol staking participation with a transferable token representation. This can make staking positions easier to use across compatible DeFi applications while the underlying staking system continues to operate.
Lido documentation distinguishes protocol concepts, token behavior, contracts, governance and operational responsibilities so integrations can use the correct layer for each task.
Developer and integration paths#
Developers can start with the Lido Tokens Integration Guide, API documentation, SDK and UI libraries, Subgraph references and individual smart-contract pages.
For production integrations, verify deployed contract addresses, network context, security documentation and the exact behavior of stETH or wstETH before relying on an interface.
Security and protocol operations#
Security documentation includes audits, bug bounty resources, disclosures and deployed-contract references. Staking Modules and Run on Lido cover operational topics for infrastructure and protocol participants.
Lido product interfaces#
Use the product interfaces for staking, earning, wrapping and swapping. Documentation pages remain focused on protocol and integration information.
