Spread the benefits of staking

Welcome to Lido's Tiered Rewards-Share Program!
As part of our continuous efforts to foster stETH growth and incentivize participation, we've introduced a novel Rewards-Share Program. This system is built to reward our dedicated contributors with a share of the DAO's staking rewards.
Prospective participants can include a wide variety of entities, from individual wallets to larger institutions like protocols, crypto services, neobanks, and custody services.
To be eligible for the program, participants must demonstrate a potential to drive at least 2,500 ETH to Lido over a 12-24 month period. Furthermore, they must be willing to promote Lido alongside alternative liquid staking tokens.
Once onboarded, participants become eligible for tier-based rewards that are determined by the total cumulative ETH staked. Here's a quick look at the reward tiers:
30%
for 0 — 50,000 ETH
*revenue share
35%
for 50,000 — 150,000 ETH
40%
for 150,000 — 350,000 ETH
45%
for 350,000 — 700,000 ETH
50%
for 700,000 or higher
To track the stETH staked through the Lido protocol, we provide each participant with a unique referral code. However, specific activities such as unstaking and selling stETH can lead to disqualification from the rewards-share.
