About Us

Curia Lab is a team of seasoned DAO governance researchers, data analysts, blockchain engineers, and developers. We are committed to strengthening the DAO ecosystem through specialized tools, insights, and delegate services. Our mission extends beyond tool creation; we actively engage in DAO governance as a professional delegate, leveraging our hands-on experience to refine our toolings for each DAO. This commitment to being part of the governance process ensures that our tools are battle-tested and evolved, addressing the challenges of data inaccessibility, opaque delegate actions, and governance risk assessments with precision and relevance.

Our vision is a future where the governance of DAOs is seamless, fully transparent, and informed by comprehensive data. We aspire to create an ecosystem where the influence of delegates is clear and their contributions are measurable, enabling real-time monitoring and strategic enhancement of DAO operations. We see Curia Lab at the forefront, leading DAOs into an era where every decision is strategic and data-driven, ensuring a resilient and dynamic governance model.

Our Goal for Lido DAO

Curia Lab is committed to supporting Lido in the liquid staking landscape and its long-term vision of becoming a fully trustless and decentralized protocol. We aim to contribute by leveraging our analytical capabilities to foster a more resilient and distributed validator set, actively participating in governance to enhance protocol security, and promoting transparency with clear, data-driven rationales for our voting decisions. We’re excited to apply our expertise to help fortify the Lido DAO’s position as a core piece of decentralized infrastructure.

Disclosure

As a governance and DAO research team, Curia Lab collaborates with several other projects and DAOs, including Optimism, Arbitrum, CoW, Gnosis, and Zksync, to enhance governance processes. We are committed to maintaining transparency and avoiding conflicts of interest in our work with the Lido DAO. When required, we will disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may arise in the course of our engagement, ensuring impartial contributions.

Proposal for Updating Lido on Ethereum Validator Exits SNOP to v3

Vote: For

Rationale: We voted in favor of this proposal because v3 Exits SNOP is a necessary upgrade that aligns operator responsibilities with the protocol’s current technical reality. It formally integrates the new triggerable withdrawals mechanism introduced via Pectra upgrade and extends standardized expectations to all operators, including the new Simple DVT and Community Staking modules. This update strengthens the protocol’s resilience by ensuring all participants adhere to a single, modern standard for validator exits.

Empowering Lido Ecosystem Foundation to Lead Bridge-Related Partnerships

Vote: For

Rationale: We support this proposal because replaces the 5-day objection period with an expert-led oversight model that enables the Lido Ecosystem Foundation to secure bridge partnerships at market speed. An independent Bridging Security Committee (BSC) with real veto power provides strong safeguards which ensures that security and DAO alignment aren’t compromised.

By streamlining governance for operational decisions, Lido can quickly to secure partnerships that sustain (w)stETH liquidity which will help drive institutional adoption. This balances execution agility with decentralization.

Lido Ecosystem Grants Organization (LEGO) — Framework Update 1 October 2025

Vote: For

Rationale: We are voting FOR this proposal because reducing the budget by 50% from $500,000 to $250,000 shows responsible treasury management. Furthermore, removing the LDO allocation and dissolving the unused Nominees program are logical simplifications that reduce accounting and governance overhead, allowing the grants program to operate more efficiently.

Transfer TRP to Lido Labs Foundation and Amend TRP Terms

Vote: For

Rationale: We are voting FOR this proposal because it strengthens accountability by transferring the TRP to the Lido Labs Foundation. This move consolidates oversight into a formal, DAO-answerable entity, reducing administrative ambiguity. Furthermore, by realigning the incentive framework to current market realities, this proposal creates a more sustainable and flexible cost structure for the DAO to manage and retain key contributor talent.

Curated Module Fee Changes

Vote: For

Rationale: We are voting FOR this proposal because it is a strategic recalibration that increases DAO revenue by aligning baseline fees to 3.5% to reflect market realities, while simultaneously protecting Ethereum’s resilience through a tiered structure that actively subsidizes the Client Teams and high-impact Node Operators essential to network security.

Conversion of Treasury Stablecoins into sUSDS or TMMFs

Vote: For

Rationale: We are voting FOR this proposal because it demonstrates financial optimization by activating idle treasury assets to generate a projected $1M+ annual revenue stream through diversified, low-risk instruments while maintaining strict spending caps to protect the liquidity needed for daily operations.
