Lido New Proposal: Transition to a Comprehensive DeFi Platform by 2026

BlockBeats News, November 27th, Lido released the "GOOSE-3" proposal, proposing its 2026 strategic goals to transition Lido from an "Ethereum staking middleware" to a comprehensive DeFi platform. The proposal was submitted in collaboration between Lido Labs Foundation, Lido Ecosystem Foundation, and Lido Alliance BORG.

Lido's four major goals for 2026 include:

Expand Staking Ecosystem: Leveraging Lido V3, stVaults will transform staking into modular infrastructure for integrators, node operators, custodians, and large allocators;

Protocol Flexibility Upgrade: Introducing ValMart Validator Market to dynamically allocate staking based on performance, cost, and decentralization, enhancing DAO income and strengthening risk management;

Expand Lido Earn: Targeting DeFi power users, re-stakers, stablecoin holders, passive earners, and on-chain treasury managers;

Vertical Expansion and Real-world Business Application Synchronization: Small-scale experimentation + single large bet to connect on-chain and off-chain economic activities.
