Hey-hey, thank you for the note!  
The gist is, giving LDO more “functions”, in a very broad sense, is building tokenomics. That’s a major undertaking with valuable result, but I wouldn’t expect fast turnaround here: the main focus of the most Lido DAO contributor teams is on decentralisation efforts, developing withdrawals process ([The Lido on Ethereum V2 upgrade](https://research.lido.fi/t/the-lido-on-ethereum-v2-upgrade/3800)) and designing more resilient governance framework ([LDO+stETH dual governance](https://research.lido.fi/t/ldo-steth-dual-governance/2382))
