Will Shannon (Node Operator Workstream, Lido DAO) explained how ST Vaults in Lido Finance V3 let depositors stake ETH with a specific validator and mint stETH if they want liquidity. This opens the door for institution-directed validators, restaking strategies, and fine-grained control—all with traceable fee structures and auditable flows.
Key points made at Staking Rewards Summit in Dubai 2025 :
> Non-custodial vaults tied to single node operators
> stETH minting optional—liquidity on demand, with validator-level insight
> New product types: staking ETFs, custom validator mandates, leverage setups
> Vault transparency = better control for audit trails and reporting
Notes: ST Vaults break pooled abstraction—introducing new units of accounting and staking revenue attribution. Controllers should prepare to map validator-level flows back to cost centers, especially if vaults become part of fund structures or restaking stacks.
