Lido adds EarnETH to stVaults
Lido launched its EarnETH strategy for stVaults via the DeFi Wrapper connector, enabling faster public staking product launches and amplified APR options for vault operators. The integration should make it easier to roll out staking yields inside wrapped vault architectures. (x.com)
Lido published a product update on March 12, 2026 that formally consolidated its Earn line into two core vaults, EarnETH and EarnUSD, and described EarnUSD as the protocol’s first USD-denominated vault. (blog.lido.fi) Lido reported Earn vaults have attracted more than $150 million in deposits since the Earn rollout began in September 2025. (blog.lido.fi) Lido’s public UI lists EarnETH with roughly $188.8 million in TVL and a displayed APY near 5.0%, describing the strategy as allocating ETH and stETH across “leading, blue‑chip DeFi protocols.” (lido.fi) The DeFi Wrapper toolkit that connects strategies into stVaults includes smart‑contract primitives, connectors to yield strategies, and white‑label interfaces according to Lido’s rollout notes and coverage of the V3 stack. (cryptoninjas.net) A community‑maintained repo for the DeFi Wrapper widget exists on GitHub under NethermindEth, showing developer tooling for embedding Lido Earn strategies in third‑party front ends. (github.com) Documentation for stVaults describes modular primitives for builders to set custom fee structures and optional stETH minting, and event trackers logged EarnETH’s availability to stVaults via the DeFi Wrapper connector on March 20, 2026.
