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.
A total of DAI 115.6K was allocated to LEGO grants, amounting to 23% of the allotted quarterly budget.

A question from outside, if this is the right thread for it.
Last week I published a survey that counted commits repairing feed handling
across 48 crypto organisations — 1,163 of them. The collector, the raw data and
the analysis are all public, so the numbers can be checked rather than taken on
trust. It is on GitHub under akarazhev, the repository called
price-feed-failure-survey — I can’t post links yet as a new account here.
Among repositories with any such commit, 58–64% have two or more, so the fault
class recurs rather than being fixed once. And the profile splits by role:
reconnect appears in 13% of subject lines at organisations that consume feeds
and 1% at those that publish them, while heartbeat runs the other way, 18%
against 6%.
Lido was not in that sample, and it sits on both sides of that split — it runs
its own oracles and consumes external data.
Before I spend time on it: would a comparison of the Lido oracle infrastructure
against that baseline be useful, or is this already covered internally? “No, we
track this” is a perfectly good answer and saves me the work.
Hi @akarazhev, thank you for your interest in Lido. As a contributor, I’m not sure this data would be useful for Lido’s oracle infrastructure.
I’d suggest not spending time on this analysis unless you’re personally interested in it.
