Risks

How much debt can be issued against LDO as collateral across lending protocols.

Maximum possible exposure to LDO

$0 (max additional borrows against LDO) + $47,583 (bad debt if LDO was hacked now)

$47,583 at-risk exposure = $47,583 bad debt if hacked + $0 additional borrowable against LDO

Methodology and limitations

Showing collateral exposure for LDO on Ethereum. Max Borrowable uses the backend's liquidity-bounded borrow-capacity metric (`collateralMaxBorrowUsdLiquidity`) for the maximum additional USD debt that can be issued against the asset right now. Bad Debt at $0 is the minimum known bad debt if the collateral asset price goes to zero; null rows are excluded from this total rather than treated as zero, so totals may remain lower bounds.

  • These metrics describe lending exposure only and are not a full protocol risk rating.
  • This view does not include multisigs, timelocks, audits, oracle incidents, listing discussions, curator reports, or protocol backstops.
  • Chain-specific drilldown is exact only when the token resolves to a concrete chain:address.

Each row is one protocol-chain exposure for LDO as collateral. Bad debt at $0 totals remain lower bounds when a row is marked partial.

↑Euler launches DeFi token lending market

LDO is being added as a supply-only collateral asset in the new Euler DeFi market, allowing users to deposit it for liquidity without borrowing exposure to mitigate risks from its governance-driven liquidity profile.

↑Aave Chainlink SVR v1 Activation Phase 2

LDO, a governance token, achieves a lin_res score of 25 in OEV metrics, indicating potential for significant liquidation events under stress, recommending SVR prioritization.

contributor@Llamaxyzgovernance.aave.com

↑Llama Month 7 Update

LDO added to Ethereum Aave V3 to allow its use as collateral, expanding DeFi token support and driving protocol revenue.

contributor@seraphimforum.euler.finance

↑Increase borrow factors for longer-tailed assets including LDO RAI MIM FRAX COMP

LDO's restrictive borrow factors currently make borrowing unviable despite its role in longer-tailed assets; raising them improves capital efficiency for borrowers and shorts. Chainlink oracles reduce oracle manipulation risks, maintaining Euler's overall risk profile.

↑Llama Month 2 Progress Update

Emission_Admin role assigned to Lido, enabling LDO reward distribution on Polygon V3 Liquidity Pool to boost liquidity and usage of the asset in lending markets.

contributor@euler_mabforum.euler.finance

→Switch asset price oracles to Chainlink ahead of Ethereum Merge

Switching the price oracle for LDO from Uniswap v3 TWAP to Chainlink mitigates the reduced cost of manipulation attacks post-Merge, where PoS enables block proposers to more easily manipulate spot prices without arbitrage risks.

↓Aave Initial Treasury Strategy

Treasury holdings of governance tokens like LDO are proposed to be sold for ETH and reinvested into the ETH yield strategy on Balancer V2, redirecting to higher-yield opportunities.

Token Rights and Value Accrual

Updated May 07, 2026

Overview

Token(s)
LDO
Token Type
Governance
Utility
N/A

LDO is the governance token of Lido DAO, allowing holders to propose and vote on key protocol decisions including upgrades, fee structures, node operators, and treasury allocations, while supporting dual governance with stETH veto rights to encourage alignment in liquid staking operations.

Governance Rights

Control

Holding LDO is required to vote in the Lido DAO and contribute to decisions on topics such as protocol parameters, incentives, node operators, grants, payments, bug bounties, and fee accumulation. Voting power is proportional to LDO holdings.

Governance Decisions

LDO

Treasury Decisions

LDO

DAO controls the treasury which accumulates 6% of staking rewards

Revenue Decisions

LDO

Fee Switch

OFF

In April 2026, a proposal passed that authorized the Lido Growth Committee to execute the accumulation of LDO using up to 10,000 stETH from the Lido DAO Treasury, outside the NEST (Network Economic Support Tokenomics) format, which enables supplied stETH to be swapped for LDO and route the LDO back to the Lido DAO treasury

Primary Value Accrual

Buybacks

Value accrues through buybacks, which are distributed to the DAO Treasury, not LDO holders. Governance ultimately controls the DAO treasury.

Equity Statement

Revenue currently flows to Lido DAO after node operator costs are covered. Lido DAO may soon vote on LDO buybacks, and there is currently a live buyback program.

Economic Rights

Value Capture

A LDO buyback program is live with a budget of 10,000 stETH from the DAO Treasury, executed by the Growth Committee. This is outside of and does not change the NEST format. LDO purchased will accrue to the treasury.

Buybacks

LDO

There is currently an LDO accumulation program, using up to 10,000 stETH from the Lido DAO treasury. All acquired tokens will be transfered to the DAO Treasury. The DAO retains the right to terminate the program.
