I see the logic in supporting this decision.
First, it’s not so much about saving a single protocol as it is about reducing systemic risk. Ignoring such cases undermines trust in DeFi as a whole, especially among users who perceive it as an alternative to the banking system. Loss of trust here could be far more costly than current expenses.
Second, Lido has direct influence through Lido Earn. This isn’t abstract assistance, but an attempt to protect its own product and users from potential larger losses. In this sense, it feels like risk management, not just outside assistance.
Third, it’s an attempt to prevent a worst-case scenario. Yes, there’s a risk of wasting funds, but without intervention, the likelihood of significant losses remains high. The logic here is to try to limit losses in advance.
Of course, all the questions and doubts that other delegates raised are important, and I hope that the analysis will be completed and all the answers will be given in the near future.
