Presentation

blockful improves DAO governance by focusing on security risks.
We are a company focused on creating tools that help improve coordination between human beings in society. We use lines of code to reduce friction between people and increase the efficiency of social interactions.

We are focused on DAO security, creators of anticapture.com — a governance security dashboard and framework that:

  • Acts as an independent risk assessor for DAOs.

  • Makes DAO security visible, measurable, and accountable.

  • Identifies attack vectors before they materialize.

  • Encourages DAOs to take action before risks escalate.

Here’s a brief overview of our work:

Core principles: A security-oriented approach

We’ve seen a number of attacks on decentralized organizations stemming from structural weaknesses.
At first, these may appear as minor concerns, such as low participation in delegated governance, but they can ultimately lead to the downfall of a DAO through treasury theft, exploitation of vulnerabilities, or even the forced dissolution of the organization.
We aim not only to vote responsibly but also to contribute to the development of safer governance practices within the organization.

Motivation:

Our motivation is to bring the Anticapture governance security framework into Lido’s governance, ensuring that if governance risks ever arise, they can be promptly identified and addressed.

Lido plays a critical role in Ethereum’s ecosystem, and making its governance processes legible, measurable, and accountable strengthens not only Lido but the broader Ethereum.

  • We aim to act as independent risk assessors, helping Lido proactively address governance vulnerabilities.

  • We aim to make Lido’s governance security legible to the Ethereum ecosystem.

  • Our contribution is focused on ensuring Lido remains resilient, credible, and a benchmark for DAO security.

Public Acceptance: We accept Lido DAO delegate Сode of Сonduct (link). We are also aligned with Lido’s Vibe (Purpose, Mission, Vision).

Conflicts of Interest & Resolution:

At blockful, we are committed to transparency and integrity in all our actions. While we actively participate in various ecosystems, we currently see no conflicts of interest that impact our work. We remain vigilant and will disclose any potential conflicts should they arise. Our priority is to ensure that our contributions align with the best interests of the Web3 community and the ecosystems we support.

GOOSE 2025 cycle: Lido DAO goals for 2026

We voted to Adopt GOOSE-3 proposal.

Expanding Lido’s scope and aiming to establish its brand in the institutional market through ETPs/ETFs can bring scale to Lido’s liquid staking product. We agree with the optimistic regulatory outlook regarding the adoption of LSTs by institutions. Still, we believe this will require significantly more business development effort to reach relevant players in this market than simply developing a complex product to serve them. In this regard, these efforts must be consistently communicated to the DAO, so everyone is aware of both the successes and the challenges in closing these deals.

We see stVaults as a genuine opportunity for Lido to grow beyond the traditional staking market.

However, as noted by other delegates, it is crucial to preserve Lido’s existing dominance and attempt to regain the market share lost to competitors in the sector. Binance and Coinbase have gained ground in recent years with their liquid staking offerings. If the expansion of both continues and stETH keeps losing market share, it could jeopardize the leadership of Lido’s most important product. Therefore, any expansion strategy should also account for sustained efforts to remain competitive within the core liquid staking market.

2026 Ecosystem Grant gRequest (EGG): Executing GOOSE-3

We voted to Approve 2026 EGG.

The EGG budget is quite reasonable relative to GOOSE-3, and we believe it can make a meaningful difference in this new phase for Lido.

However, the proposal would benefit from a clearer breakdown of spending across each item. Research and Development, for example, accounts for $12.3M of the total budget, yet there is no detail on how these funds are allocated — such as personnel, cost per hour, software, and so on. This lack of granularity is present across the other budget items as well. Improving this level of transparency would be beneficial for the Lido DAO itself.

Lido Alliance BORG – Amendment of Bylaws to Enable GOOSE-3 Execution

We voted FOR the proposal.

The necessary complement to execute GOOSE-3 makes complete sense and should be implemented to ensure there are no obstacles to putting next year’s objectives into practice.

Adopt The SEAL Safe Harbor Agreement

We voted Approve the proposal.

The adoption of SEAL has become a security best practice in the industry and is already used by several DAOs across the ecosystem. Enabling white hats to secure funds in the event of a potential exploit adds an extra layer of protection to Lido DAO’s smart contracts.
