What is Lido-dao?

Lido-dao is a decentralized liquid staking protocol that lets you earn staking rewards on Ethereum and other proof-of-stake assets without locking up funds. It mints liquid staked tokens like stETH in exchange for deposits, preserving continuous liquidity and enabling you to trade, lend, or use your staked assets. By aggregating multiple trusted validators, Lido-dao provides secure, scalable staking across the Ethereum ecosystem.

Why does Lido-dao have inflation?

Inflation in Lido-dao occurs because staking rewards increase the pool of staked ETH: Lido-dao mints additional stETH to reflect those rewards, so the total stETH supply grows over time. This growth mirrors Ethereum staking yields and is not a separate monetary policy decision by Lido-dao.

How is Lido-dao inflation calculated?

Lido-dao inflation is calculated by comparing the circulating supply from one year ago to today’s supply. The percentage increase in supply over that period is the annual inflation rate. Learn more in our guide: What is cryptocurrency inflation?.

How is Lido-dao emission calculated?

Lido-dao emission refers to how new coins enter circulation, usually through mining or staking rewards. The emission rate depends on the project’s monetary policy and block reward schedule. Learn more in our guide: What is cryptocurrency emission?.

FAQ

We calculate our own inflation and emission data via our algorithms. You can learn more about how we derive our data in the learn page.

We encourage the usage of any data available on this website. You may use it for your personal or educational goals, but do not use it commercially unless you purchase the CryptoInflation API.

We strive to make the data as accurate as possible, but some blockchains have limitations on how precisely supply, inflation, and emission can be calculated. Moreover, the data on this website often has to be averaged and approximated, therefore the data can be a bit off sometimes.

Cryptocurrency emission and inflation aren’t inherently bad—they’re part of how many blockchains secure their networks and incentivize miners or validators. Moderate inflation can help distribute coins fairly and keep the network active, but excessive or poorly managed emission may dilute value and hurt long-term sustainability.
