[Temperature Check] - D2D collaboration proposal: Idle <> Lido

Summary

This Temperature Check introduces the DAO to DAO proposal with Lido, strengthening the partnership between Idle and Lido.

This proposal consists of three initiatives: stkIDLE delegation, $IDLE KPI option, and $LDO reward program.

With this snapshot, the Idle DAO votes on the 1st and the 2nd initiative, which involve the transfer of $IDLE tokens from the Idle DAO treasury.

Motivation

Since February 2022, Lido has been a key partner of Idle by supporting our protocol and our new primitive, Perpetual Yield Tranches, to scale and grow with new liquidity providers. We would like to introduce, then, a new DAO to DAO collaboration proposal between Idle DAO and Lido.

The proposal relies upon three initiatives and introduces a voting power delegation. A delegation of voting power between DAOs temporarily assigns resources that carry intrinsic financial benefits.

Thanks to this delegation, Idle and Lido will be able to:

• Foster meta-governance activities, with $LDO token holders involved in Idle DAO governance decisions. Idle will be able to broaden the current voting user-base, onboarding a reputable stakeholder in its decision-making process.
• Expand the Gauges ecosystem adoption, enabling Lido to join the competition to increase their stETH-based Gauge weights.
• Improve the business value proposition, with Lido empowered to offer increased APY (via LP reward boost) to onboard strategic liquidity providers interested to use risk-adjusted liquid staking solutions.

Details

A detailed description of the initiatives is available in the forum post.
