Stake Tokens​

Lido on Polygon The first step for users to take when trying stake their MATIC in the Lido on Polygon protocol is to unlock their tokens. The unlock process approves the StMatic contract to spend the amount to be staked from the user's balance. To unlock tokens, click on the unlock button and confirm the transaction in the confirmation page that shows up.

The Lido on Polygon protocol receives submitted MATIC tokens, calculates the current ratio between MATIC and stMATIC tokens and sends that amount of stMATIC to the user. Since stMATIC is a non-rebasable token, user will always have the same amount. During time, while rewards are accumulated, the value of stMATIC token increases. MATIC tokens are then delegated across Polygon validators that are part of Lido on Polygon protocol.

Accumulated rewards are redistributed once a day between node operators (5%), Lido DAO (2.5%) and the Treasury (2.5%).
