Lido Dual Governance product
Overview
Lido Dual Governance (LIP-28) is a governance mechanism for the Lido DAO that was approved and activated on Ethereum mainnet on June 30, 2025. It lets stETH holders check LDO token-holder decisions: by depositing stETH into an escrow contract, holders can delay a DAO proposal, and if deposits cross higher thresholds they can trigger a "rage quit" that blocks execution until dissenting stakers have withdrawn their ETH. It is designed to balance the interests of stakers and LDO holders in the Lido liquid staking protocol.
