Lido DAO approved a dual governance structure on June 29, granting stETH holders potential veto power over proposals.

Nearly unanimous approval was reached, with 53.6 million LDO tokens supporting the change, just clearing the set quorum. This new framework enables stakers to delay or veto decisions made by LDO token holders. The model becomes active if 1% of total staked ETH signals dissent, delaying proposals by 5 days, or freezing them with a 10% threshold.
