Lido DAO Budget Link Proposal
A proposed budget link could pass genuine savings into LDO purchases, while corrected scenarios show why counter resets cannot improve underlying profit. Lido’s DAO is debating whether its 2027 grant budget should guide automated purchases of the LDO governance token. The Oct. 7 discussion puts two choices on the table: link NEST’s revenue threshold to approved spending, or periodically clear the buyback engine’s negative spending counter. NEST had made no purchases funded by its allocator when checked on Oct. 13. Genuine cost cuts could leave more income available for buying, while a reset would only remove past constraints.
