Lido DAO: Stakely Launches First Public ETH Staking Vault on stVaults - 09 Sep 2026
Stakely's public ETH staking vault, built on Lido's stVaults, is now live. The vault lets anyone stake ETH with Stakely-operated validators and pairs staking with Lido's EarnETH strategy for additional DeFi rewards. It is the first live third-party build on Lido V3's stVaults framework.The launch opens a new ETH deposit channel that mints stETH and channels protocol fees to Lido, so usage of the vault flows directly into Lido's existing fee mechanics. Each deposit through Stakely's operators functions the same way as deposits through Lido's own interface, with stETH issued against staked ETH.For LDO holders, this vault is the first proof that Lido's modular staking model can attract external operators and deposits. The EarnETH pairing ties the vault into wider DeFi, though whether more third-party operators follow depends on demand beyond this initial deployment.Built on stVaults: the public staking vault.Public ETH staking with Stakely, now live:
