> **Visual Note:** Two Ethereum staking queue dashboards are displayed: the Entry Queue shows 2,609,145 ETH with a 45-day, 7-hour wait and 256/epoch churn, while the Exit Queue shows 96 ETH with a 2-minute wait, 7.7-day sweep delay, and 256/epoch churn—visually reinforcing the post's point about the massive disparity between entry and exit demand, with $LDO positioned as central to the staking process.  

> 
> "2.6 million $ETH is currently in a 45-day queue to stake.

Imagine, the owners of this ETH will be able to stake it after 45 days.

In the exit queue, there's a 2-minute waiting time and 96 ETHs on hold.

$LDO is right at the center of this, as it's what Ethereum stakers use."

> "$STX is a quality bull project worth following.

Just as $LDO is at the forefront of projects that those who want to earn interest by staking Ethereum will support,

$STX will be a project supported by those who stake Bitcoin and chase additional gains.

> **Visual Note:** A dark-themed blockchain transaction explorer interface displays a list of transfers involving LDO tokens, with wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and amounts in LDO and USD. The highlighted entry at the bottom shows a 4 million LDO transfer from "Lido: Aragon Token Manager" to address 0x0028E24e4Fe5184792Bdbd0Cf1490C11AE5b76185f, dated 5 weeks ago, corroborating the post's mention of an initial 5 million LDO allocation from December 2020.

> **Visual Note:** DefiLlama chart showing Lido's TVL ($17.043B) vs Jito ($752.11M) on 14 Jul 2026, with a protocol ranking table highlighting Lido's $738.91M 1Y fees versus Jito's $258.64M—illustrating the post's point that TVL oversimplifies protocol value, as Jito generates ~35% of Lido's fees despite being 22x smaller by TVL.  

> 
> "TVL is the laziest way to evaluate a protocol.

That becomes clear when you compare

Jito ($786M) vs Lido ($17.7B).
