Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Why Every Institution Should Be Staking ETH | Kean Gilbert, Lido · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

I think we spent something like four million dollars on smart contract uh security.

Um we recently received like an A plus rating uh for a number of different providers.

So like security and testing is like a huge part of kind of what Lido is about.

Yeah, it's it's definitely a challenge, but I think it's obviously surmountable, like in the sense of what we've done with wisdom tree and bitco, fire blocks and copper.

Um ultimately it just takes more time.

Like you said already, it's it's kind of education.

We just have to get them comfortable with the idea.

In terms of kind of the the obvious workaround that we have, like Lido has a a number of different ecosystem foundations.

So effectively, if we're to sign at the simplest of level an NDA, these institutions would go to the foundation, that foundation would then sign an NDA.

So we do have kind of traditional, I suppose, structures in the back end, but the overarching element is the dev and the dev ultimately dictates what what's happening.

Yeah, like I would say at a high level and I've definitely stolen this quote from someone far more intelligent than myself, but it's basically like turning real assets into internet assets.

And that quote always kinda stuck with me.

Um but general kind of day to day stuff from my perspective around tokenization, conversations wouldn't come up too frequently, especially since we're kind of the staking company or the staking guys from that regard.

But personally speaking, I can definitely see like the ramp up of tokenisation is just going to be incredible.

Um I was pretty fortunate, like I've been in crypto for um ten years.

So I remember when the whole conversation of tokenization started, it was quite niche.

And then I think a couple of months ago I was fortunate.

I was at the um

an ETF event in Dublin where EY was hosting all these different ETF issuers.
