Lido DAO（LDO）是什麼？

Lido aims to make staking more accessible to a wider range of users by pooling staked ETH from multiple users, which negates the need for any technical expertise on behalf of users. Users also don’t need to commit a minimum amount of 32 ETH to run their own validator, which lets more people stake their ETH.

Lido Liquid Staking V2, or Lido V2, is the latest major release of the Lido DAO protocol. It was designed to provide a more efficient and versatile staking solution for Ethereum 2.0.

One of Lido V2’s key features is its "Liquid Staking" model, which allows users to deposit ETH into the Lido pool and receive stETH (staked ETH) tokens in return. These tokens can be traded on secondary markets or used on “LSDFi” protocols, providing users with a more liquid form of staked ETH that can be used for other purposes.

Overall, the Lido DAO network is a robust and secure system that enables users to participate in governance and earn rewards while helping the network to stay secure.

Lido has been built as a DAO, aiming to preserve Lido’s upgradability and stability while maintaining decentralized infrastructure. The Lido DAO governs a set of liquid staking protocols, deciding on Lido’s key parameters whilst spearheading Lido network upgrades. Members of the Lido DAO have the responsibility to govern Lido to maintain its ongoing efficiency and contribute to the overall growth of the Lido community.
In addition to this, Lido’s design as a DAO will allow for the accumulation of service fees which can be managed and distributed transparently to cover development and insurance costs in a manner aligned with community interests.
In general, Lido DAO has the following responsibilities:

• Launching Lido
• Deploy protocol smart contracts
• Set fees and other protocol parameters
• Select the threshold signature scheme participants among reputable individuals or organizations willing to provide the service
• Facilitate the multi-party computation ceremony to create the threshold signature account for staking rewards
• Assign initial DAO-vetted node operators
• Propose and update Lido’s parameters
• Approve incentives for parties that contribute towards DAO’s goals (e.g., stETH liquidity providers)
• Propose and update Lido’s implementation for incoming Ethereum 2.0 features using DAO treasury funds
• Assign oracles to deliver reward/slashing rate feed to help establish stETH token balances
• Scout and qualify new node operators and penalize the existing ones slashed by Ethereum 2.0’s rules
• Manage the Lido DAO’s insurance and development funds
• Manage unbonding and withdrawals once available in Ethereum 2.0
