Safe deployment on Hoodi

Community Grants / Initiatives
1

Dear Lido Community,

My name is Ivan Bandaryk, I’m field CTO at Protofire DAO.

As part of our ongoing plan to support Lido protocol, we are proposing the deployment of a Safe Multisig wallet on the emerging Ethereum testnet called “Hoodi.” This will allow for a smooth transition of all Lido testnet-related operations and functionality from Holesky, which is expected to wind down soon.

With a proven track record of deploying Safe on more than 60 networks over the past 3.5 years, and specifically supporting Safe on Holesky for Lido over the past 1.5 years, we are confident in our ability to deliver a high-quality, reliable deployment and ongoing maintenance of Safe on Hoodi. Our approach ensures comprehensive support for the Lido ecosystem and community while maintaining a reasonable budget and financial load.

Scope of Work

The project consists of two main components:

  • Deployment:
    We will deploy the latest canonical version of Safe Multisig using the official Safe GitHub repositories.
  • Support & Maintenance:
    This includes code updates (Safe components), meaningful integrations (extra Wallets support, Safe Apps), infrastructure monitoring and optimization, as well as user support. All infrastructure costs are included.

Timeline

  • Deployment:
    Estimated duration: ~3 days, including testing.
    Target go-live for Hoodi Safe: March 24.
  • Ongoing Support & Maintenance:
    Begins immediately after deployment is completed.

Budget Request

Based on our experience supporting Holesky Safe, we propose the following financial structure:

  • $10,000 upfront for Deployment
    (Reduced from $15,000 in recognition of our long-term collaboration and deployment optimization)
  • $6,000 upfront for 3 months of Support
    Approximately 50% will cover infrastructure hosting and maintenance costs. The remaining funds will be used for user support, code updates, and integrations.

Payments can be made in DAI, USDC, or USDT.
ETH address: 0x63d6287D5b853cCfedbA1247fBEb9a40512F709A

We appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the continued growth and success of the Lido ecosystem.

Sincerely,
Protofire DAO Team

Hello Ivan. I would like to extend thanks to Protofire for the great work they’ve done maintaining Safe on Holesky and the quick turnaround to also be able deploy it to, and maintain on, Hoodi. LEGO Council has agreed to proceed with the above-requested grant.
