Lido has approved a new governance model empowering stETH holders.
The new model allows stETH holders to delay or block proposals by locking tokens in an escrow contract based on the amount deposited.
The vote for the new model received significant support with over 53 million LDOs voted in favor, just passing the 50 million quorum.
Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin supported the governance change, highlighting it as a crucial safeguard against abuse and a step towards strengthening staker rights.
