Purpose
Creating high-quality educational content platform about Lido, its technology, vision, validators, and more is crucial for the Lido ecosystem. It aids in enhancing the ecosystem by:
- Simplify Access to Lido Knowledge for All: One of the primary objectives of establishing an educational content platform for Lido is to make knowledge about the Lido ecosystem accessible to a wide range of users, whether they are crypto enthusiasts or developers. By providing a user-friendly and inclusive platform, Lido aims to break down complex concepts and make them easily understandable, welcoming newcomers and seasoned users alike.
- Empower the Community for Informed Decision-Making: Another critical purpose is to empower the Lido community with the information necessary to make informed and wise decisions that support the project’s growth and development.
- Cultivating Node Operator Knowledge and Responsibility: One of the central pillars of Lido’s educational content platform is dedicated to educating node operators about their pivotal roles and profound responsibilities within the Lido network. Recognizing the vital role node operators play in ensuring network security and maintaining decentralization, Lido places a premium on ensuring these key actors are well-informed and empowered.
