Lido V3 is set to introduce stVaults, a customizable staking solution designed for institutional Ethereum holders, addressing the challenge of unstaked ETH, which currently amounts to approximately 85 million. The new version, expected to go live on mainnet in December 2025, offers features such as localized validator nodes, automated risk control, and custody integration. This aims to provide institutions with the ability to maintain liquidity and adhere to governance requirements while significantly reducing costs compared to self-hosted solutions. The stVaults are designed to tackle issues like compliance rigidity, integration complexity, and lack of control, offering a cost structure that is 10 times lower than traditional self-hosted alternatives. By bridging the gap between control and efficiency, Lido V3 seeks to unlock the potential of institutional Ethereum staking, providing a more efficient and compliant solution for large-scale holders.
