Could you please clarify for me, is stETH considered as an ERC-20 token? I've been hearing a lot about it in the cryptocurrency circles and it seems to be gaining quite some popularity. I understand that ERC-20 is a technical standard for tokens issued on the Ethereum blockchain, but I'm not entirely sure if stETH falls into that category. Could you elaborate on this? It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide some insights into this matter. Is stETH ERC-20?

Unlike staked ether, which is locked and inaccessible, stETH maintains its liquid nature. This allows holders to freely transfer, trade, or utilize it in various DeFi applications.

The total supply of stETH is dynamically adjusted based on several factors. It reflects the total amount of ether deposited into the Lido protocol, combined with any staking rewards earned.

However, this total supply is also subject to deductions for potential validator penalties. These penalties are imposed for any infractions or failures in the staking process.
