What changed
Lido describes KR1 launching dedicated Ethereum validators through a stVault operated by P2P.org. KR1 retains deposit and withdrawal control, with an option to mint stETH. The initial deployment and a stated target of up to 6,000 ETH are different quantities.
Why it matters
“Staked through a protocol” leaves several questions open: who runs the validator, who controls the vault and who can withdraw? A token balance does not answer all three.
Read the roles behind the balance.
The Lido profile introduces the system. In a case, capture the vault and its role assignments at the relevant time before using a present-day name tag as an explanation.
Understand Lido ↗The target is not a verified current balance. An audit or operator name does not remove staking and contract risks.
