Ethereum’s Biggest Staking Platform is Getting a Democracy Upgrade 🧠

Lido Finance wants to let stETH holders (not just LDO holders) help make big decisions in Ethereum staking governance.

🚨Breaking News
Lido’s new proposal gives staked ETH holders veto power over key decisions — a first in DeFi governance evolution.

⚡Wire Simplified

• Lido’s proposal (LIP-28) adds dual governance: both stETH holders and LDO tokenholders get a say.

• stETH holders can’t push new changes but can block ones they hate.

• A new “rage quit” mechanism delays decisions if lots of people object.

• Over 25% of all ETH is staked via Lido — this change is big.

• The vote is still in discussion; if passed, it sets a major DeFi precedent.

✔️Straight to the Point
Ethereum governance might get way more democratic. If Lido’s proposal passes, DeFi may finally become less “whale-only” and more people-powered.
