Dive into the comprehensive LEGO Q4’23 report available here.
What Is LEGO?
For those needing a quick refresher, LEGO, short for Lido Ecosystem Grants Organization, is an innovative initiative from Lido DAO. Its core mission is to bolster projects that contribute positively to the Ethereum liquid staking environment. Designed with efficiency in mind, LEGO empowers a range of innovators - from builders to researchers - by providing them with the essential funding and resources needed to bring their creative ideas to fruition.
LEGO is more than a funding source; it’s a catalyst for growth and innovation, playing a crucial role in maintaining Lido’s position as a top-tier liquid staking protocol.

What’s Next: Q1 2024
- The LEGO budget will remain at $500,000, with a 20% LDO and 80% DAI (or another USD stable) token split.
- Individual allowances will be recalculated each quarter: USD 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 Q1 2024 are as follows (using a 30-day TWAP for LDO as of January 1st, 2024 = 2.3972):
The requested DAI amount includes the swap of extra LDO in the LEGO multisig (due to the change in budget split) with Lido DAO treasury, with LDOs to be sent back to the treasury.
