The Lido integration in MEW wallet allow users to stake any amount of ETH and begin earning rewards! In exchange for a deposit of ETH, users will receive the stETH token on a 1:1 basis. As the staked ETH generates rewards from Eth2, your balance on the Beacon chain will increase, and so will your stETH balance update to correspond to that increase.
If you'd like to withdraw your ETH, you can do so at any time by unstaking the stETH tokens using the Lido staking application found here https://stake.lido.fi. Navigate to the Lido app from the integrated MEW wallet browser, and follow this Lido guide for withdrawals: https://help.lido.fi/en/articles/7858292-faq-ethereum-withdrawal.

Open MEW wallet app and select the Browser tab on the bottom right.
Navigate to Lido's withdrawals platform at https://stake.lido.fi/withdrawals/request/.
MEW wallet should connect to the application automatically. If not, find the 'Connect wallet' button, click it, and approve connection.
On the 'Request' tab, enter the amount of stETH you want to unstake. Sign and approve the transaction.
Your stETH will be locked and ETH will be sourced to fulfill the withdrawal request. This will take between 1-5 days. An NFT will be minted to represent your withdrawal request. You can save the NFT to your wallet to monitor the status of the request. Alternatively, you can always check the status on the Claim tab of the Lido withdrawals platform by going back to it in the MEW wallet browser.
Once your withdrawal request has been processed, the status on the Claim tab will change from 'Pending' to 'Ready to claim'. Click Claim and confirm transaction.
After the transaction goes through, you should see the claimed ETH in your wallet.
