Bybit Earn

Lido

Pros and cons
Bybit Earn
Pros
- Redemption is not subject to a stated lock-up
- Asset-specific order limits can be checked when placing an order
Cons
- Displayed APR is not guaranteed
- Order size is constrained by the asset limit and remaining pool
Lido
Pros
- Custody is non custodial, so the holder keeps control instead of parking coins with an operator.
- Assets covered are ETH, stETH and wstETH, so the product does one thing well rather than spreading thin.
- The feature set is liquid staking, which keeps the staked balance tradable while it works.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre and community, with no phone or live chat channel.
- Exits are not instant: 1-5 days withdrawal applies to every unstaking request.
- The coin list is narrow at ETH, stETH and wstETH, while the earn ranking shows a median of 225 supported coins.

Questions about each
Lido
What can I stake with Lido?+
Lido covers ETH, stETH and wstETH, so the product is built around ether and its liquid and wrapped forms. The feature is liquid staking, which means a staked balance can still be moved while it works. The coin list is short compared with multi-asset earn products.
Who holds the ether I stake?+
Custody stays with the holder, since the model is non custodial. Assets are not parked in a company account the way a custodial earn product works. Only 7.1% of the earn ranking runs on this basis, so it is the smaller group.
How fast can I unstake?+
Exits run on a 1-5 days withdrawal window, so the wait sits between deciding to sell and seeing funds free. Trading the liquid token is faster, but the queue behind it still sets the pace for moving to plain ether.
What support do I get?+
Support runs on help centre and community, so questions are answered from written guides and the community. There is no phone or live chat channel. Written documentation is the main route for staking questions, with community answers covering the rest.
