Lido Impact Staking (LIS) officially launches on January 15, 2025 and introduces a new approach to sustainable social impact financing, leveraging staking rewards and Lido middleware to create lasting change.
With LIS, users can stake ETH, stETH, or wstETH and allocate a percentage of staking rewards to social impact projects of their choice. This innovative model allows individuals, organizations and DAOs to support causes transparently and perpetually, without ever compromising their original capital.
Another feature of Lido Impact Staking is its permissionless framework. Any social impact project can register on the platform. By decentralizing and democratizing philanthropy, LIS is paving the way for a new era of accessible and sustainable social impact financing.

Rethinking philanthropy: a model of lasting impact
Traditional philanthropy often functions as a single-use investment, in which donors contribute limited resources, later validated through monitoring and evaluation. Lido Impact Staking (LIS) reinvents this approach by allowing users to stake (ETH/stETH/wstETH) and allocate a percentage of staking rewards to impactful, data-driven causes. This innovative model transforms stake returns into a sustainable source of funding for social good, enabling donors to support meaningful change without giving up their capital. In this new model of philanthropy, blockchain technology allows transparency and trust.
During its launch, LIS supports two high-impact initiatives:
- Give directly: focuses on providing direct cash transfers, enabling people living in poverty to make independent financial decisions and meet their needs.
- TREE: Promote reforestation and carbon removal through sustainable tree cultivation, creating environmental and social benefits.
These early projects demonstrate the potential of LIS to provide sustainable funding streams for critical causes, reshaping philanthropy through Ethereum staking.

About
Impact Staking was initially designed and developed by the Launchnodes team after Ethereum became a Proof of Stake blockchain. Launchnodes was established in April 2020 and helps customers around the world invest solo in Ethereum and manage their own ETH nodes and infrastructure, without ever having to share their keys or give up custody of their ETH.
The Lido Ecosystem Grants Organization (LEGO) has awarded a grant to Launchnodes in 2023, to enable the creation of an Impact Staking platform, which leverages Lido’s proven and scalable middleware. This resulted in Lido Impact Staking.
The LIS team is now engaged with NGOs, governments, charities, family offices, foundations and other impact causes and donors – all of whom are excited about the potential of Impact Staking as a as a new and innovative model of philanthropy that generates maximum positive impact.
