Ceffu Partners With Lido to Offer Liquid Staking through Cold Storage
We’re pleased to announce our partnership with Lido to offer ETH liquid staking through our cold storage solution, Qualified Wallet. Following our recent announcement with Binance Earn, our collaboration with Lido offers Ceffu's institutional clients another liquid staking solution, enabling them to stake their ETH assets and receive Lido Staked ETH (StETH) as rewards. StETH is a liquid, tradable token denoting their ETH staked through the Lido protocol) as rewards.
How does staking ETH on Ceffu with Lido work?
By engaging in liquid staking from your Qualified Wallet, your ETH is securely held in a smart contract, bolstering the Ethereum proof-of-stake blockchain's security consensus mechanism. In return, the corresponding stETH tokens are credited to your Qualified Wallet.
stETH represents your staked ETH along with the respective rewards. Your stETH balance is updated daily at 12 PM UTC to reflect accrued rewards, providing you an insight into your staked position and reward share on a daily basis. This mechanism is referred to as "rebasing." For information on daily stETH APR, please refer to this link.
To get started, simply select a Qualified Wallet from which you wish to stake your ETH in the staking portal of your Ceffu web app. Your staked ETH will then be sent to the Lido middleware platform and accrue rewards in stETH. Rewards are distributed back to your Ceffu Qualified Wallet as stETH to reuse as needed.

What is liquid staking?
Liquid staking revolutionizes the way users approach staking. Users receive a liquid, easily tradable token that acts as a stand-in for their staked cryptocurrency on proof-of-stake networks like Ethereum.
This approach diverges from traditional staking methods, where tokens remain locked until unstaked. Users can now readily access and utilize the value of their staked tokens at their convenience. This newfound fluidity unlocks seamless engagement with a wide array of decentralized applications and web3 protocols, significantly amplifying the potential of staked assets.
As of this writing, StETH ranks first among liquid staking tokens and protocols, as per DefiLlama rankings. It stands firmly on top, with an accumulated total value locked (TVL) exceeding $29 billion USD, with Rocket Pool and Binance Staked ETH in second and third positions respectively.
