Lido V3 has introduced stVaults, a new solution aimed at institutional investors seeking to stake Ethereum (ETH) with enhanced liquidity and performance. Partnering with Kiln Finance, Lido V3's stVaults allow investors to stake ETH while maintaining liquidity and selecting high-performing validators. Kiln, a Lido V3 node operator, manages validator monitoring, uptime, and compliance, providing a secure and efficient staking solution. stVaults address the challenge of balancing liquidity with performance in ETH staking. Investors can stake ETH with Kiln's top validators and optionally create stETH tokens, ensuring liquidity without losing control over validator selection. The system offers transparency and flexibility, with on-chain performance tracking and SOC 2 Type II security standards. This setup allows institutions to grow their staking operations seamlessly, combining strong performance, flexible fund access, and regulatory clarity.
