In a move that could only be described as audacious, Lido DAO-the decentralized entity behind the largest liquid staking protocol in the decentralized finance circus-has unveiled a proposal to expand its horizons beyond the snug confines of Ethereum staking by 2026. The proposal, published with the pomp and circumstance of a royal decree, aims to catapult Lido into a brave new world of multi-product offerings.
Executing GOOSE-3,” requires approval from Lido DAO token holders.
The proposal, bearing the delightfully quirky title “2026 Ecosystem Grant Request (EGG): Executing GOOSE-3,” outlines a $60 million budget earmarked for the development of new products. This ambitious endeavor seeks to diversify the protocol’s offerings beyond its current single-product fixation on staking.
The plan, as detailed in the proposal, calls for the creation of new earning products and vault structures tailored to a variety of user types, including on-chain treasuries and regulated entities. One can only imagine the sheer audacity of such a move, as if Lido were donning a top hat and monocle, ready to waltz into uncharted territories with a wink and a nod.
“The proposed focus for the Foundations in 2026 shifts towards evolving Lido’s position from a single-product protocol focused on liquid staking to an innovative organization with a product portfolio by expanding the product offering, creating new revenue streams and ensuring long-term protocol resilience,” the proposal stated, with all the gravitas of a Shakespearean soliloquy.
Liquid staking protocols, for the uninitiated, allow users to maintain liquidity of staked cryptocurrency assets while simultaneously earning staking rewards-a feature that has driven adoption in the decentralized finance sector with the fervor of a caffeine-fueled squirrel on a mission.
The proposal, however, is not a done deal. It requires the nod of approval from Lido DAO token holders before it can proceed. One can only hope that these token holders possess the foresight and wisdom of a sage-or at least the enthusiasm of a child presented with a new toy.
