Lido DAO

LDO#135 by market cap

Not covered. The criterion it missed: no roadmap or documentation page linked from the homepage.

Lido DAO is for liquid staking. We have not written its record yet, so its promises are not checked. It trades at $0.3553, #139 of all coins by size, 95% below its highest ever price.

This week Nothing changed on its record.

A real job, real backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #2 of 27 liquid staking coins. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

Is it real?

  • Room to growWorth at least four times less than the biggest coin doing the same job, so the gap is real, not a guess.

The gap, and what to do

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Liquid Staking ($14.12M). To match the leader, Pendle ($408.74M), its price would need to rise 38%, to about $0.49.

Still to check

  • No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
  • Only 4 headlines named it last month

What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.

A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.

Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.

Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Does it deliver?

No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

What is next, and when?

Nothing dated has been found on its pages, so there is no date to wait for yet.

How big is it next to its rivals?

Same job, different how

Liquid Staking: this coin next to Pendle, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.

Lido DAO says
.
Pendle says
Pendle describes itself as a platform for trading crypto yield.

Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.

What it is

No description on file.

Problem it says it solves: liquid staking. 36 coins are working on it and together they are worth $1,485,494,379. This coin is 20% of that.

Where it trades: Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, Bitstamp, Binance

Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.

Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.

What should make me careful?

Nothing printed today

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

The homework: the coin itself, the news, the record

83%

of all LDO that will ever exist is already out in public hands: 834.15M coins.

17% (165.85M coins) is already created but not in public hands, held by the project or locked in escrow. That is a small share. Those coins can be sold later, which can push the price down.

out held back. Each dot is 1%.

Runs a staking service

The project stakes other people's coins. What its own coin gets you is whatever its pages say, usually a vote and a share of fees.

That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.

Basics
  • 83%of the maximum supply is in circulation: 834.15M of 1B.
  • 165.85Mcoins still to be released, 17% of the maximum. Releases can add selling pressure.
  • 1.2×fully diluted value versus today's market cap. The gap is coins not yet released.
  • 5%of its all-time high of $7.30 on 20 August 2021. That is −95.1% from the top.
  • #139by market cap, $296,394,105.
