jiayaoqijia Lido Vault Position Monitor
Monitor Lido staking positions and Earn vault allocations with plain-language alerts.
Monitoring Targets
1. stETH Staking Position
Current APR (benchmark):
web_fetch url="https://eth-api.lido.fi/v1/protocol/steth/apr/sma"
Withdrawal queue depth (affects unstaking time):
web_fetch url="https://eth-api.lido.fi/v1/protocol/withdrawals/status"
Protocol-wide stats:
web_fetch url="https://eth-api.lido.fi/v1/protocol/steth/stats"
2. Benchmark Yield Comparison
Compare stETH APR against alternatives via DefiLlama:
All staking/lending yields:
web_fetch url="https://yields.llama.fi/pools"
Filter for relevant pools:
project: lido— stETH base APRproject: aave-v3,symbol: WETH— Aave ETH supply rateproject: compound-v3,symbol: WETH— Compound ETH rateproject: morpho-blue— Morpho ETH vaultsproject: rocket-pool— rETH APR
Specific pool history (30-day trend):
web_fetch url="https://yields.llama.fi/chart/POOL_UUID"
3. Lido Earn Vaults (Mellow)
Lido Earn vaults use Mellow Protocol to allocate across Aave, Morpho, Pendle, Gearbox, and Maple.
Track vault allocations on-chain — query vault contract for current strategy:
exec command="curl -s -X POST https://eth.llamarpc.com -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"eth_call\",\"params\":[{\"to\":\"VAULT_ADDRESS\",\"data\":\"0x01e1d114\"},\"latest\"],\"id\":1}'"
0x01e1d114=totalAssets(). Returns total value in underlying token.
Compare vault yield to benchmarks:
web_fetch url="https://yields.llama.fi/pools"
Filter:
project: mellowfor Mellow vault yields
4. DeFi Position Health (wstETH as collateral)
Aave V3 health factor for a wstETH position:
exec command="curl -s -X POST https://eth.llamarpc.com -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"eth_call\",\"params\":[{\"to\":\"0x87870Bca3F3fD6335C3F4ce8392D69350B4fA4E2\",\"data\":\"0xbf92857c000000000000000000000000USER_ADDRESS\"},\"latest\"],\"id\":1}'"
0xbf92857c=getUserAccountData(address). Returns: totalCollateral, totalDebt, availableBorrow, liquidationThreshold, LTV, healthFactor.
Alert Conditions
Monitor and alert when:
| Condition | Threshold | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| stETH APR drops below benchmark | APR < Aave WETH supply rate | Warning |
| APR drops >20% from 30-day average | Significant yield compression | Warning |
| Withdrawal queue grows >50k ETH | Extended unstaking delays | Info |
| Health factor < 1.5 (Aave collateral) | Liquidation risk rising | Critical |
| Health factor < 1.1 (Aave collateral) | Imminent liquidation | Emergency |
| Vault allocation shift detected | Strategy rebalance | Info |
| wstETH/stETH rate anomaly | >0.1% deviation from expected | Warning |
Alert Message Format
Alerts should be plain language, explaining:
- What changed — specific metric and direction
- Why it matters — impact on the user's position
- What to do — actionable recommendation (or "no action needed")
Example: "Your stETH APR dropped to 3.1% overnight, below the Aave WETH supply rate of 3.4%. This means holding stETH currently yields less than lending WETH on Aave. Consider whether to maintain your staking position or reallocate. No urgent action needed — APR fluctuations are normal."

Usage Tips
- Use DefiLlama as primary yield data source — it normalizes APR/APY across protocols
- stETH APR includes consensus + execution layer rewards; varies daily due to MEV tips
- For Lido Earn vaults, track both the vault's composite yield AND the underlying protocol allocations
- When alerting on yield drops, check if it's a protocol-wide event (e.g., ETH staking APR compression) or vault-specific
- Withdrawal queue depth is a leading indicator of market stress — spikes often precede sell pressure
