Lido expands ETH staking with new pooled product and L2 support
Image: CoinGapeLido introduced a pooled ETH staking product built on its V3 stVaults platform, operated by Myrmidon Staking. The service launched in mid‑October 2026 and charges a 10% fee on rewards. On the same day Lido added direct ETH staking on four Layer‑2 networks, using Chainlink's CCIP to handle cross‑chain transfers while keeping the mainnet staking contracts unchanged.
Key points
- Both offerings rely on Lido's modular V3 infrastructure and retain the Ethereum mainnet contracts for staking.
- Lido introduced a pooled ETH staking product built on its V3 stVaults platform, operated by Myrmidon Staking.
Why it matters
The launches give users more options to stake ETH with lower operational complexity and maintain familiar reward structures, potentially increasing participation across multiple networks.
What's unclear
It is not known how much total ETH will be delegated to the new pooled product or the L2 routes.
The impact of the 10% fee on overall staking returns compared to other providers remains unclear.
