Manage Staking Vaults

Northstake SVM enables users to operate multiple staking vaults without the need for additional integrations or services. Users just need an Ethereum wallet — or a Hoodi wallet for testing.

SVM and Lido V3

The SVM fetches data from Lido V3 contracts and generates the smart contract calls that users sign to make transactions. In other words, it helps reading and writing the Lido V3 contracts.

When users needs data related to their vaults, such as vault ETH balance, liability shares or minting capacity, the SVM simply retrieves that from the blockchain and shares it with the user via UI, API or SDK.

When a user makes an operation with a vault, like depositing, staking, or minting, via UI, API, or SDK, the SVM:

1. identifies the correct Lido V3 vault contract and method to call
2. prepares the transaction object by encoding the correct parameters
3. returns the transaction object to the user for signature
4. the user signs and submits the transaction

⚠️

Important: User Funds Always Remain Under User Control

Neither Northstake nor any node operator involved in the SVM has access to — or control over — the assets stored inside a user’s vault or wallet.
Users alone sign and authorize every state-changing transaction.
