In a world where crypto is constantly evolving, earning passive rewards is no longer limited to complex setups or long lock-in periods. Taking a step forward in simplifying this experience, ZebPay has introduced Lido’s Staked ETH (stETH) on Quick Trade (QT), bringing seamless access to earning rewards, directly through a simple buy action.
What is Lido’s Staked ETH (stETH)?
Lido’s stETH is a liquid staking token issued when you stake ETH through the Lido protocol. Instead of locking your ETH, stETH allows you to:
- Earn staking rewards
- Maintain full liquidity
- Use it like any other crypto asset
In simple terms, stETH represents your staked ETH, while continuing to generate rewards in the background.
A Quick Introduction to Lido
Lido DAO is the decentralized organization behind the Lido protocol. It enables its users to:
- Stake ETH without needing 32 ETH

The DAO structure ensures that decisions around the protocol are governed by the community, making it a key player in the evolution of decentralized staking.
