What the vote is about
This document outlines methods to verify all the calls embedded in the Lido DAO on-chain vote #194, which contains the following proposal:
Activate Lido V3: Phase 1 (Soft Launch) — a major upgrade to the Lido protocol introduces non-custodial, over-collateralized staking vaults (“stVaults”) that enable stakers to opt into specific operators or strategies while still minting stETH. The Lido V3 design and implementation follow the DAO-approved Snapshot. Phase 1 is intentionally proposed in a constrained soft launch mode to enable early adopters and partners while maintaining a conservative security posture.
