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.
