**What is the Grant Application About?**

This proposal seeks funding to develop and deploy a whitelabel agent on Synternet specifically tailored for the Lido ecosystem. This intelligent agent will support Lido stakers and DeFi users by delivering real-time opportunities, risk assessments, and portfolio insights across chains, ultimately enhancing discoverability, accessibility, and usability of Lido’s staking and DeFi offerings.

**Author(s):**

**Daniel Haudenschild (CEO)** – Former CEO of Swisscom Blockchain AG and Partner at EY, with 20+ years in fintech and blockchain leadership.

**Jonas Simanavicius (CVO)** – Co-founder of Syntropy and former JPMorgan technologist with deep expertise in decentralized infrastructure.

**Paulius Gedminas (CTO)** – Over 15 years of technical leadership, engineering, and product delivery.

**Philippe Engels (Head of BD)** – BD leader with 10 years in blockchain and finance.

**Danielius Dvareckas (Principal Engineer)** – Blockchain and systems expert.

**Arturas Ciuplys (Head of AI)**, **Matas Minelga (AI Lead)**, and **Auridas Franckevicius (Product)** – A versatile AI and blockchain engineering team with a track record of building performant agentic systems.

**Purpose:**  
The proposed agent will allow the Lido ecosystem to:  
• Better serve existing stakers with personalized cross-chain insights  
• Increase adoption via simplified access to staking opportunities  
• Support retail and institutional users with an AI-powered DeFi companion  
• Boost Lido TVL and usage through improved DeFi opportunity discovery and user engagement  
By building a tailored agent on Synternet, Lido can embed itself in a growing cross-chain agentic economy, making its staking solutions more accessible and intelligent.

**Summary:**  
Synternet proposes to build a dedicated, cross-chain DeFi agent integrated with Lido’s staking products. This agent will analyze data across 10+ chains, provide risk-adjusted insights, and help users navigate complex DeFi options with ease. The goal is to increase Lido’s TVL and user engagement through personalized, actionable intelligence. The $20,000 grant will fund an MVP version of the agent, with key metrics tied to user adoption, usage, and cross-chain interactions involving Lido.

**Details:**

**Budget: $20,000**  
**Use of Funds:**  
• MVP Agent Development: $12,000  
• Data Integration & Ecosystem Tuning: $4,000  
• Community Onboarding & Feedback Collection: $4,000

Note: This MVP includes core functionality (Lido-specific opportunity discovery, position tracking, user notifications). A full-featured agent costs ~$50,000 and can be developed in phases as additional funding is secured.

**Timeline (3 Months):**  
• **Month 1:** Requirements gathering with Lido stakeholders, MVP design  
• **Month 2:** Agent development and Lido integration (staking products, risk data, TVL tracking)  
• **Month 3:** Beta deployment, feedback loop, community onboarding (Telegram, Discord, etc.)

**Key Metrics & Deliverables:**  
• 1 whitelabel agent with Lido staking support live on Synternet  
• 1,000+ interactions in the first month post-launch  
• 10+ daily actionable insights tied to Lido’s protocol  
• Feedback from 100+ users on usability, value, and feature requests  
• Open discussions for potential upgrades to include auto-staking signals, reward optimizations, and DAO governance data tracking

**Why Synternet?**  
• Supports real-time data from 10+ EVM and non-EVM chains  
• Built-in monetization through microtransactions  
• Decentralized infrastructure validated by 38 validators  
• Partnerships with major protocols (e.g., tBTC, Rootstock) and strong early traction in Asia
