Daily charts of Amount of Ethereum Deposits, Distinct number of Depositors and Average Amount of Ethereum Deposits
If we look at majority trend of three charts above we can detect increasing trend for all of them which shows steady growth of Lido
Comparison with other staking options Solo staking is great, but it comes with some disadvantages. Setting up a validator node requires a pristine technical understanding, brings with it a minimum deposit of 32 ETH in Ethereum case, slashing and offline penalties can get very severe if the staking is managed improperly and finally the staked amount is locked up for a significant period.
Solo staking is similar to other option SaaS staking in that you are having your own validator keys. Nevertheless, with SaaS you must trust a third-party (usually centralised), which may act maliciously, attacked or simply regulated. Going back to the Ethereum example, there remains a requirement for a minimum amount of 32 ETH staked.
Alternatively, it may be possible to produce staking through centralised exchanges. Needless to say, crypto assets and CeFi are not suited well together from the fundamental standpoint. It is also worth mentioning the economic aspect - by staking within some centralised entities, the user does not receive a corresponding token in return and, thus, loses the opportunity to perform any subsequent activity within DeFi or the same centralised entity, where assets were staked. Yes, APR, when staking on centralised exchanges might be higher, but with a significant amount aggregated within the centralised entity comes a huge potential influence to the ecosystem that was fundamentally designed decentralised.
Through the use of a liquid staking solution such as Lido, users can eliminate these inconveniences and benefit from secure, non-custodial staking backed by industry leaders. Liquid staking is unlocking the potential of PoS by giving users the ability to not only stake their assets, but have the liquidity to use those assets in DeFi projects that way not only increasing yields for the individual, but growing the staking participation in general.

Choose 1 liquid staking provider (Ankr / Lido / rocketpool, etc) and answer the following question:
\n
- How much ETH was staked?
- How many unique depositors are there?
- What is the avg/median/max/min/distribution of ETH deposits
