Vote #184

  • Vote: Yes (On-Chain)
  • Rationale: Voting in favor of these motions that have been pre-approved in off-chain votes because extending the voting and objection phases gives the community more breathing room to review proposals carefully and engage meaningfully, without rushing important decisions. Updating the GateSeal parameters and deploying new Easy Track factories also helps Lido’s operational teams move faster while keeping strong controls in place.

Lido DAO Ops Multisigs Policy 2.0

  • Vote: For (Off-Chain)
  • Rationale: Voting in favor because this policy brings much-needed clarity and tighter security standards to Lido’s multisig operations. It strengthens signer accountability, sets clear processes for rotations, and future-proofs operations as more multisigs move under BORG structures.

SSV Lido Module Proposal

  • Vote: For (Off-Chain)
  • Rationale: Voting in favor because expanding permissionless participation through SSV strengthens Lido’s long-term decentralization goals without sacrificing operational quality. Permissionless scaling is essential if Lido is to avoid centralization pressure as its validator set grows, and SSVLM’s design pragmatically abstracts away complexity that would otherwise block smaller, capable operators from participating.

The proposal strikes a strong balance between near-term protocol upgrades and longer-term strategic research, while maintaining clear accountability through KPIs, reporting, and community oversight.

EGG: Lido Ecosystem BORG Foundation Grant Funding Request (Apr-Dec 2025)

  • Vote: For (Off-Chain)
  • Rationale: Supporting this proposal because it focuses on the critical path for Lido’s next phase of growth: expanding stETH adoption across DeFi and institutional channels, deepening liquidity, and strengthening brand presence. The clear KPIs and focus on both technical integration and market awareness make this a high-leverage use of funds.

Ensuring Compatibility with Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade

  • Vote: For (Off-Chain)
  • Rationale: Voting in favor because ensuring full compatibility with Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade is critical to maintaining Lido’s operational stability. The technical plan is pragmatic, audit-supported, and minimizes disruption, while the fallback plan shows the team is thinking several steps ahead to protect stakers if needed.

Re-endorsement of wstETH on Starknet

  • Vote: Against (Off-Chain)
  • Rationale: Voting against because the Starknet deployment, while technically improved, has not yet met the governance, security, and process standards needed for re-endorsement. Endorsing now would overlook key safeguards outlined by the NEC and set a risky precedent for future integrations.

Vote #185

  • Vote: Yes (On-Chain)
  • Rationale: In support of motions to update oracle consensus versions and the CS verifier contract. Audits and deployment verifications confirmed.

Increasing LOL Easy Track Limits to align with Grant Requests
