Protocol Fee

The Curve stETH/ETH pool has been one of the largest and most important liquidity pools in DeFi since Lido's early days. By providing stETH (or ETH) to this Curve pool, you earn three yield streams simultaneously: base Lido staking rewards on your stETH, Curve trading fees, and CRV + CVX token rewards for LP incentives.

Why Lido

Key Benefits of Lido Liquid Staking

Stake ETH without the 32 ETH minimum, keep liquidity with stETH, and earn daily compounding rewards from the #1 liquid staking protocol.

📈

Triple Yield Stack

Curve stETH LP earns: (1) Lido staking APR on stETH, (2) Curve trading fees, (3) CRV/CVX token rewards. Combined APY often exceeds 5-8%.

🔒

Minimal Impermanent Loss

Since stETH and ETH are nearly 1:1, impermanent loss in the stETH/ETH Curve pool is minimal compared to typical token/token pools.

🔗

Convex Boosted Yields

Stake Curve LP tokens in Convex Finance for boosted CRV rewards and additional CVX earnings without needing to lock CRV yourself.

💰

Deep Liquidity Pool

Community Reviews

What Lido Users Are Saying

★★★★★

The stETH Curve pool has been incredibly reliable over time. Consistent trading fees, CRV/CVX rewards on top of staking APR — this is my core DeFi position.

Curve_LP

★★★★☆

The Curve + Convex combo on stETH is efficient. Auto-compounding CRV rewards via Convex saves gas and time. One of the smoothest DeFi yield experiences.

ConvexUser

★★★★★

Been in the stETH Curve pool for 2 years. The impermanent loss has been essentially nil. Steady fee income plus CRV/CVX on top of staking rewards — can't complain.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Lido — Lido + Curve Finance

Combined yield varies but typically includes ~3% staking APR + 0.5-2% Curve trading fees + CRV/CVX rewards that fluctuate with token prices. Total APY often ranges 5-8%.

Very low. Since stETH trades close to ETH, price divergence is minimal and Curve's stable swap formula minimizes impermanent loss. A brief stETH depeg (like in 2022) can cause temporary IL.

Generally yes — Convex boosts CRV rewards without requiring you to lock CRV yourself. The additional CVX rewards make it more capital efficient for most users.

Unstake LP tokens from Convex, then remove liquidity from the Curve pool. You receive ETH and/or stETH back. Then either keep stETH or withdraw to ETH via Lido.
