Hi everyone, I’m a newbie.Unfortunately, I bought LDO last year.The only reason I bought it is because it is an ETH staking project.But it serves no purpose other than voting.Even if the LIDO project is done well, no other benefits can be obtained.It will not affect the price of LDO.Conversely, if LIDO’s TVL continues to fall, I will suffer losses.So what is the function?Hold LDO?I not only want to be the mascot of the project, but also hope that the project party can give LDO more functions.

The sole function of the LDO token is governance, it is a governance token used to participate in the Lido DAO.
