About Lido Impact Staking
Lido Impact Staking (LIS) emerged together with Ethereum’s transition to Proof of Stake, spearheaded by Launchnodes– a business established in April 2020 to empower people and organizations to run their own Ethereum validator nodes while keeping full custody of their possessions. As a leader in non-custodial staking facilities, Launchnodes has played a crucial function in making decentralized staking more available and secure.
In 2023, the Lido Ecosystem Grants Company (LEGO) granted Launchnodes strategic financing to develop a dedicated middleware layer that would enable staking benefits to be redirected towards high-impact social causes.
