The Lido DAO proposal aims to temporarily lower the first loss protection threshold of the EarnETH treasury to cover losses related to the Kelp incident
The Lido research forum has launched a new proposal suggesting that the DAO authorize a temporary reduction of the first loss protection trigger threshold for the EarnETH treasury during the Kelp event. According to current rules, the protection mechanism of Lido Earn only triggers when the treasury loss exceeds 1% of the holdings. However, the proposal points out that if the shortage of rsETH is resolved through DeFi United, the actual loss may be less than 1%.
To ensure that EarnETH users receive full compensation, the proposal suggests a one-time exception during this event, allowing the use of the first loss fund to cover losses below the 1% threshold. The current estimated residual borrowing rate loss is about 400 to 600 ETH.
The proposal emphasizes that this move is a one-time arrangement for user protection, brand reputation, and business considerations, and does not change the general 1% rule. Since the rsETH event is expected to be resolved within 5 to 10 days, and the standard voting window is 7 days, the proposal also has a sense of urgency.
