Lido

London, UK100 employeesFounded 2020

Lido is a leading liquid staking protocol in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, enabling users to stake assets like Ethereum without locking them up, thereby retaining liquidity through staked tokens (e.g., stETH). The company is a core player in the Ethereum ecosystem, managing billions in total value locked and operating as a remote-first organization, with its core team based in London, UK. In addition to its core protocol, Lido also incubates tools like Wisp, a documentation platform for DAOs.

Company History

Lido was founded in 2020 by a team led by Konstantin Lomashuk and Vasily Shapovalov to provide a liquid staking solution for the Ethereum network. The protocol grew rapidly to become the largest liquid staking provider, also expanding to other blockchains like Solana and Polygon. In late 2024, the protocol rebranded to 'Lido' and continues to be a critical piece of the Web3 infrastructure, with a focus on decentralization and community governance.
