Introduction and Experience

At TokenLogic, we’re a tight-knit team of DeFi enthusiasts dedicated to helping communities manage their finances. We’ve been working closely with Aave to develop tools for treasury management, providing detailed insights into protocol performance, and supporting various growth efforts such as the new Lido-focused Aave v3 deployment. We’ve been active contributors to DeFi governance since 2021, making a significant impact on the Aave ecosystem.

Why TokenLogic

We at TokenLogic believe in nurturing communities and fostering progressive governance ecosystems. Our delegate platform aims to be an independent voting voice within the vibrant Lido ecosystem. We stand out by offering a blend of technical expertise, data-driven insights, and a strong commitment to decentralisation.

Proactive Governance Role

At TokenLogic, we are committed to engaging with DAOs where we can make a significant impact and play an active role in DeFi governance.

We participate actively in discussions, offer in-depth analysis, and help shape the direction of the protocols we engage with. This commitment has positioned us as one of the leading delegates in the Aave ecosystem.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Our role goes beyond just voting. Our diverse team of engineers and financial analysts uses on-chain data and their deep DeFi expertise to offer comprehensive insights that support DAO governance decisions. With skills in smart contract development, security, financial analysis, and risk management, we evaluate proposals and initiatives from multiple perspectives, ensuring our contributions consider both technical and economic aspects.

Commitment to Decentralisation

As a delegate, we aim to support Lido’s ongoing efforts to increase decentralisation, ensuring the protocol remains robust, secure, and true to the principles of decentralised finance. We are committed to transparency and open dialogue, fostering an environment where ideas can thrive and diverse perspectives are actively encouraged and welcomed.

By becoming a Lido DAO delegate, we aim to leverage our experience, expertise, and proven commitment to governance to help guide Lido’s continued growth and success in the dynamic world of liquid staking and DeFi.

Organize the Lido Alliance Program as a Lido-DAO-Adjacent BORG
Vote Cast: YAE

TokenLogic is casting a YES vote on this proposal for several key reasons that align with both the strategic goals and the governance principles of Lido DAO.

• Alignment with Lido’s Strategic Vision
  Creating the Lido Alliance BORG Foundation is a logical next step following the previously approved Lido Alliance Proposal. The establishment of this DAO-adjacent entity helps to further the mission by facilitating collaborations and partnerships that can drive value to the Lido ecosystem.
• Robust Governance and Oversight
  The proposal introduces multiple layers of checks and balances, both through legal structures and on-chain mechanisms.
• Flexibility and Accountability
  The ability of Lido DAO to directly intervene in case of an “Adverse Event” through the appointment of an Emergency Supervisor underscores the commitment to maintaining high standards of governance and accountability. This provides a crucial safety net, ensuring that the BORG remains aligned with Lido DAO’s values and objectives.

In conclusion, this proposal represents a well-considered approach to enhancing Lido DAO’s capabilities through the creation of a legally robust and strategically aligned workgroup.

TokenLogic fully supports the proposed structure and budget, and believes it will contribute positively to the Lido community.

Should Galaxy continue in the Curated Module set following the acquisition of CryptoManufaktur?
Vote Cast: YES

TokenLogic is casting a YES vote on this proposal based upon several key considerations. First, the acquisition does not bring any material changes to the validator operations, infrastructure, or organizational structure of the node operator. The existing team and infrastructure will remain intact, ensuring stability and continuity for the Lido ecosystem.

Moreover, a review of previous node operator mergers and acquisitions within the Curated Module demonstrates that similar situations have been managed smoothly, without adverse impacts. The absence of identified risks further supports this decision. Both the LNOSG and the broader community discussions found no significant risks or objections to Galaxy continuing as a node operator.

Galaxy has also been transparent in their communications and has engaged positively with both the community and the LNOSG. Their strategy of maintaining the status quo while gradually enhancing operations builds confidence that they will continue to be a valuable contributor to the Lido network.

In conclusion, the proposal to allow Galaxy to remain in the Curated Module following their acquisition of CryptoManufaktur is well-founded. There is no compelling reason to disrupt their operations or impose new conditions at this time.

TokenLogic supports supports Galaxy’s status as an active node operator in the Curated Module.

Increase the Proposal Threshold for Snapshot
Vote Cast: Do Nothing

We voted for the “do nothing” option on this proposal because we believe that maintaining a relatively low threshold helps prevent potential gatekeeping. Furthermore, the ongoing collaboration with Snapshot has already been effective in mitigating most spam-related issues. As @Lanski pointed out, the wallet responsible for submitting spam proposals is funded with over $45K, allowing it to easily manipulate the proposal threshold by purchasing the necessary amount of LDO to publish and then swapping back immediately after submission. Changing the threshold will not resolve this issue.

Change Easy Track limits for PML & ATC
Voting: Support the Change

We voted to support this proposal because it provides a necessary update to the Easy Track limits, ensuring that they align with the evolving operational and funding needs of the Lido Contributors Group (LCG).

Reducing the PML limit and increasing the ATC one will help balance funding based on actual expenditures. These changes are crucial to support ongoing initiatives.
We will now be waiting for Steakhouse’s forecasted grant disbursement for the full budget period.

Lido Community Staking Module Mainnet Release Setup
Vote Cast: Approve CSM Mainnet Release

We voted to approve the CSM mainnet release because it marks a significant milestone for Lido’s staking protocol, introducing the first-ever permissionless staking module on Ethereum. Its deployment on mainnet will further diversify Lido’s staking ecosystem. We will be waiting for the audits reports from MixBytes and Ackee as the final step before the on-chain voting.
We also think that delegating certain management responsibilities to the CSM committee ensures effective oversight and operational flexibility.

Supporting this proposal aligns with our goal of fostering a more inclusive staking environment, and approving the CSM mainnet release will pave the way for future innovation within Lido’s staking ecosystem.
