Lido Staking Vault 0% Fee Applicable Until August 31, 2026

The 0% infrastructure fee for Lido's Staking Vaults (stVaults) has been confirmed to be applicable until August 31, 2026. The standard infrastructure fee is 1%, and the 0% fee applies only to vaults that meet certain conditions. The Lido Operator Portal announced in the June validator set update that the stVaults early adopter campaign will be extended until August 31. The eligible vaults are those with a total value locked (TVL) exceeding 250 ETH and that meet the identified node operator conditions. This 0% fee is not applied uniformly to all stVaults but operates as a conditional campaign. StVaults are a modular staking structure introduced in Lido V3, which can be utilized for institutional staking and DeFi-linked strategies. Lido introduced stVaults on January 30 with the launch of Lido V3 on the Ethereum mainnet. Currently, the TVL of stVaults is approximately 5,500 ETH, with an annual target set at 1,050,000 ETH. The Ethereum validator entry queue stands at 2,226,943 ETH, with an estimated waiting time of 38 days and 16 hours. Discussions regarding the stVaults fee parameters and committee structure are ongoing in the Lido governance forum.
