[Lido's New Proposal Suggests Expanding Business to a Broader DeFi Product Portfolio and Sets Four Strategic Goals for 2026] The Lido community has released the 'GOOSE-3' proposal, aiming to expand its business from a single staking product to a broader DeFi product portfolio. For the 2026 cycle, the proposal outlines four main goals: expanding the staking ecosystem, ensuring protocol resilience through core Lido upgrades, developing new revenue streams for the DAO—Lido Earn, and exploring vertical expansion and real-world business applications. The proposal also presents a three-year vision, including: making staking a mature and profitable product line; enhancing sustainability and driving revenue growth through vertical (building end-user products) and horizontal (expanding to new assets like stablecoins) expansion; and becoming a primary gateway for real-world capital entering DeFi. The proposal was jointly submitted to the Lido DAO by the Lido Labs Foundation, the Lido Ecosystem Foundation, and the Lido Alliance BORG, all of which are funded by the Lido DAO. The proposal states that if approved, the Lido DAO will adopt these goals as its strategic direction, focusing on expanding its staking product line, developing end-user products that capture higher value, broadening its product range, attracting new demand, and achieving revenue diversification.
