1. GOOSE 2025 cycle: Lido DAO goals for 2026
Forum post here
Vote: Adopt GOOSE-3 proposal
Rationale: [Lido Labs] GOOSE-3: Lido’s Next Chapter - #12 by Leuts
2. Ecosystem Grant gRequest (EGG): Executing GOOSE-3
Forum post here
Vote: Approve 2026 EGG
Rationale:
Resources are needed to fufill the new goals for 2026! I’m glad to see some operational costs decreasing, I believe more work needs to be done in this case and a $10mil short-fall probably isn’t needed to meet Lido’s goals.
It would also be preferable in the future to (after discussing with some other delegates) use the term “opportunistic” instead of “discretionary”. Discretionary funds are typically used for line-items such as “Growth” but clearly growth is under base-line in this proposal. Growth spending should be and is “discretionary” and should be viewed as such to ensure the status-quo is saving money not spending money. Setting the base-line with growth in it creates the expectation that there is a base-line amount of money for growth which there shouldn’t be. Base-line = operational.
I won’t vote no over wording, but setting this precedent might be good in the future.
Spend wisely and reach your goals!
3. Lido Alliance BORG – Amendment of Bylaws to Enable GOOSE-3 Execution
Forum post here
Vote: For
Rationale:
Seems like an easy, low-risk methodology to broaden the scope of what the BORG can use funds for and accomplish on behalf of the Lido DAO without adding more operational and legal overhead.
4.Adopt The SEAL Safe Harbor Agreement
Forum post here
Vote: Approve
Rationale:
Sensible, low-risk methodology to improve Lido’s onchain security. SEAL has a great reputation and after witnessing OG protocols such as Yearn and Balancer fail, we can’t be too careful.
