What Is LEGO?
What Is LEGO? For a quick reminder, LEGO, short for Lido Ecosystem Grants Organization, is an innovative initiative by Lido DAO. Its main goal is to support projects that enhance the Ethereum liquid staking ecosystem. Focused on efficiency, LEGO provides vital funding and resources to a diverse group of innovators—from builders to researchers—helping them turn their creative ideas into reality.
LEGO is more than just a funding source; it acts as a catalyst for innovation, essential for keeping Lido at the forefront of liquid staking protocols.

What’s Next: Q2 2025
- The LEGO budget will remain at DAI 500,000, with a 20% LDO and 80% DAI (or another USD stable coin) token split;
- Individual allowances will be recalculated each quarter: DAI equivalents using a 30-day TWAP will be calculated for 15k and 10k LDO (council and nominees, respectively). If a LEGO member’s wallet holds a balance equal to or higher than the calculated allowance, it will not be refilled.
The refill amount and individual allowances for Q2 2025 are as follows (using a 30-day TWAP for LDO as of April 1st, 2025 = 1.0097):
