Lido's materials

Northstake's Staking Vault Manager (SVM) is built directly on Lido V3 stVaults. The pages below are the official Lido documentation relevant to our product, grouped so you can jump to the right reference quickly.

[!note] How Lido's terms map to ours
Lido calls our category of product a DeFi Wrapper: a pooled, tokenized staking product layered on top of a single stVault. Wherever Lido's docs say "DeFi Wrapper", read it as the vaults-wrapper contracts (Pool, Withdrawal Queue, Distributor, Strategy) that the SVM is built on.

Entry point: stVaults Documentation Center: the hub for all Lido V3 stVault documentation.

Building guides

How to create and ship a staking product on stVaults.

Page	What it covers
Basic stVault	Creating and operating a single-owner stVault with optional stETH minting: the foundational layer every pooled product sits on. Covers the two-role model (Node Operator Manager + Vault Owner), funding, minting, and validator deposits.
Pooled staking product	Overview of the DeFi Wrapper toolkit for launching multi-user, tokenized staking products. Closest analogue to the SVM: start here for the big picture.
Roles & permissions	The three-layer access-control model: TimelockController governance, per-contract RBAC (Pool, Withdrawal Queue, Distributor, Dashboard), and the Emergency Committee.
Withdrawals	Operating the withdrawal queue (request → finalize → claim) plus liquidity management and finalizer gas compensation.
Custom strategy	Adding a yield strategy to a pool via the `IStrategy` / `IStrategyFactory` interfaces. Covers fresh deployment vs. upgrading an existing `StvStETHPool`; `GGVStrategy` is the reference implementation.
Disconnect guide	Gracefully shutting down a pooled product and returning remaining assets to users via Merkle distribution. (Irreversible: affects all pool users.)

Operational & management guides

Day-to-day running, monitoring, and exit of a stVault.

Page	What it covers
Health monitoring	The four health metrics to track (Health Factor, Carry Spread, Net Staking APR, Utilization Ratio) and how to read them.
Health emergency	Restoring an unhealthy vault (Health Factor < 100%): burn stETH, add ETH, or rebalance: with the trade-offs of each.
stVaults economy examples	Worked APR models for DeFi-integrated, institutional, and leveraged staking strategies.
Voluntary rebalancing & vault closure	Eliminating stETH liability to close a vault: external repay vs. voluntary rebalancing to Lido Core.
Applying report guide	Applying oracle reports via the LazyOracle so operations (mint, withdraw, rebalance) see fresh vault state.
stVault disconnect guide	Disconnecting a single stVault from Lido Core to operate independently. (Distinct from the pooled-product disconnect guide above.)
Node operators identification	Becoming an Identified Node Operator to access better reserve ratios and stETH minting tiers.
