Гаманець для Lido Staked Ether

What is Lido Staked Ether (STETH)?

Every stETH represents ether staked through Lido on Ethereum's proof-of-stake layer. It is minted when ETH goes in and burned on redemption, and the token is designed to track those deposits roughly one to one.

The quirk a holder meets first is that stETH rebases. The number of stETH at your address changes on its own as staking results are reported to the contract - you did not sign anything, no transaction appears from you, the balance simply reads differently than it did yesterday. This is normal and is the token working as intended. It also explains why wstETH exists: the wrapped version keeps a fixed balance and lets the value per token move instead, which is what many DeFi contracts and some chains use. stETH and wstETH are not interchangeable at a one-to-one rate, and sending one when someone expects the other is the classic mistake.

The second thing worth knowing is that redeeming stETH back into ETH goes through a withdrawal queue with a processing time, while selling on the open market is immediate. Both paths exist; they are not the same operation.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Ethereum.

Since a rebasing balance updates without anything being signed, there is genuinely nothing for the owner to do between deposit and exit. Tangem reads the current figure straight from the chain each time the app opens, and the card itself can stay in a drawer the entire time - which suits a token whose balance is written by the network rather than by you.
