Lido just rolled out one of the most ambitious governance overhauls in DeFi: a dual governance system designed to give power back to stakers—and make it harder for malicious proposals to pass.

But what does it actually do?

And could it make Lido the safest place to stake ETH?

Hasu, a strategic advisor at Lido, and Lido co-founder Vasiliy Shapovalov join Unchained to break it all down.

  • Whether this dilutes LDO token value

  • What this means for DeFi, and if others will follow

  • Whether this might get institutions off the sidelines
