The new system is set to launch on-chain on July 4. A dynamic timelock mechanism introduced by Dual Governance enables stETH holders to block or delay proposals approved by LDO holders if they disagree.<\/p>\n<p>The more stETH that is locked in opposition, the longer the delay. An additional timelock of 5 to 45 days is added to any proposal if at least 1% of the entire supply of stETH is locked in protest. When 10% opposition is reached, a \u201crage quit\u201d is triggered, which completely halts governance activities until the opposing stakers have exited the protocol.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dual Governance: Approved \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n<p>LDO holders have approved Dual Governance: a dynamic timelock system giving stETH holders a say in the governance of Lido DAO.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what happens next.<\/p>\n<p>\u2193 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EE2O4vExdF\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/EE2O4vExdF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lido (@LidoFinance) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LidoFinance\/status\/1939742934003253656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">June 30, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The feature is intended to mitigate governance capture risks and ensure that Ethereum (ETH) stakers are not excluded from governance decisions that they disagree with. It resolves long-standing issues regarding the power disparity between those who actively stake ETH through Lido and those who hold LDO.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>According to Lido, the new system acts as both a signal of contention and a safety mechanism. This structure aims to prevent rushed or potentially harmful proposals from being executed without giving stakers time to respond. It also gives those who stake ETH through Lido a clearer path to exit if they disagree with the DAO\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n<p>The design incorporates several safety measures as well, such as a Reseal Committee to control delays, a Tiebreaker Committee to break deadlocks, and an Emergency Committee to step in the event of a critical failure.<\/p>\n<p>The LDO token has not responded positively to the update. It has dropped 2% in the last day and 13% in the last month, indicating that the market is being cautious as the new system is implemented.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the Dual Governance framework marks one of the most advanced DAO structures introduced in decentralized finance. By aligning incentives between stakers and token holders, Lido hopes to create a more resilient and inclusive governance process for Ethereum staking.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dual Governance, a major update that will give stETH holders more control over important protocol decisions, has been formally approved by Lido DAO.
