Hi as an analyst I am trying to understand why is fee recipient of Lido and not beaver build?

Block number = 22021231

Ultimately it’s up to the builder to decide whether they put the FR directly in the fee recipient field or pay to the FR via the payload contents, so you’d have to ask beaver.

Just to clarify, there are a total of 5 different ways to do payments:

| Payment Method | Use Case | Traditional Scenario | MEV Auction Scenario |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Direct Payment Method | Commonly used in standard Ethereum block building. | Yes | No |
| Coinbase Transfer Payment Method | Utilized in both traditional and MEVAuction scenarios. | Yes | Yes |
| Indirect Address   
 Payment (IAP) Method | Specific to MEV-Auction, where builders and proposers are distinct entities. | No | Yes |
| Intermediate Transfer Payment (ITP)   
 Methods | Specific to MEV-Auction, particularly when involving smart contracts or thirdparty addresses. | No | Yes |
| Smart Contract-Based Payment Method | Useful in decentralized block building scenarios or when complex payment distributions are required. | Yes | Yes |
| Off-Chain Payment Method | Might be used in private agreements between parties involved in block building. | Yes | Yes |

Hope this helps!
