LIDO V3: STVAULTS BRING INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL
Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
Lido V3 launches stVaults. These are modular, segregated staking vaults that let institutions and node operators run dedicated validator infrastructure and custom policies while optionally minting stETH to preserve DeFi composability and liquidity. The release opens a new product space for operator-led offerings and institution-grade staking (auditability, jurisdictional controls, and fee design) and ships developer tooling (DeFi Wrapper, white-label UIs, and ERC-20 vault tokens) to accelerate wrapped staking products, looped strategies, and L2-embedded staking. Early adopters get reduced infrastructure fees through March 31.
