This is what Porter Finance was built for. Lido could put up stETH as collateral to mint zero coupon bonds and sell them to fixed income investors on the Porter Finance platform. This would be a non-liquidatable loan, ensuring that Lido DAO can recover its stETH no matter what happens between the time the loan is taken out and the maturity date. In addition, Lido DAO would be generating yield via the stETH while it’s being used as collateral.
Fixed income investors would be able to hedge their collateral exposure by purchasing ETH put options via Deribit or an alternative so we would anticipate a large amount of demand for this type of offering.
We just helped Ribbon DAO successfully raise $3M and can help Lido DAO do the same.
