Lido Finance’s decentralized autonomous organization has extended its 0% infrastructure fee for qualifying stVaults through October 31, 2026, versus the standard 1% rate. Eligible vaults must hold at least 250 ETH and be operated by identified node operators that have completed Lido’s vetting process. The extension comes as Ethereum’s validator queue has exceeded 50 days at various points in 2026 and is intended to reduce the cost of adding staking capacity through Lido’s V3 infrastructure. Separately, EarnETH, a Lido-related meta-vault launched on February 2, 2026, charges a 1% platform and management fee plus a 10% performance fee. It aggregates ETH, WETH, stETH and wstETH across Mellow-curated sub-vaults, reports roughly 4.33% APY and approximately $196 million in total value locked, and directs its fees to the Lido DAO treasury.
