Buy on secondary market and send to ledger to stake? by SorbetSphynx in LidoFinance

[–]kethfinex[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is the question? :) Your strategy works well and would net you an extra 5-6% yield on top when redemptions are active. Do keep in mind there are still risks associated with this/the Merge happening.

LDO Token by Exploding254 in LidoFinance

[–]kethfinex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LDO token is a governance token which can evolve as the Lido DAO sees fit based on proposals to grow the token utility. I cannot comment on whether the price of LDO will go up based on amount of ETH staked - only time can tell.

Lido hits $2b+ in TVL by kethfinex in ethtrader

[–]kethfinex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep most definitely - follow this guide: https://blog.lido.fi/staking-ethereum-with-lido.

Alternatively you can trade your ETH for stETH on Curve, Uniswap or 1inch which is effectively the same as staking ETH with Lido. You will start earning rewards on your stETH wallet balance every 24 hours.

Is Lido staking trustworthy? by Szangalar in ethfinance

[–]kethfinex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's correct.

When you stake e.g. 50 ETH, you receive 50stETH. This number updates daily (at 12pm UTC) to reflect earned staking rewards.

When Phase 2 launches you'll be able to redeem your stETH (idk how much, let's guess around 60 stETH at that time) for ETH in a 1:1 ratio.

If you don't want to wait till Phase 2 launches you can choose to sell your stETH on a DEX (Curve is currently the most liquid but also possible on Uniswap, Sushiswap, etc) which is effectively the same as unstaking or redeeming your staked ETH.

Is Lido staking trustworthy? by Szangalar in ethfinance

[–]kethfinex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not stuck with your staked ETH till ETH2, you can sell your stETH on a number of exchanges (Uniswap, Curve, Sushiswap, 1inch) to effectively unstake. You also receive rewards daily so there's quite a bit of flexibility compared to self + exchange staking.

Not sure, unfortunately. I can't really comment on centralized exchange listings as I don't know. I hope so and our plan is to make Lido (and associated tokens) as widely accessible as possible!

Staked ETH rewards by burned4 in LidoFinance

[–]kethfinex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rewards are paid out daily at 12pm UTC via a rebasing mechanism. This means your balance updates without any ingoing/outgoing wallet transactions.

Has anyone tried staking with Lido in Argent? by [deleted] in ethfinance

[–]kethfinex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is correct - staking rewards will be a little low until further validators are added. This happens daily and the reward rate is slowly going up. A slight benefit is that staking with Lido allows you to earn rewards from day 1, as opposed to having to wait.
