PANews reported on November 27th that the Lido community released the "GOOSE-3" proposal, aiming to expand its business from a single staking product to a broader portfolio of DeFi products. For the 2026 cycle, the proposal sets four main goals: expanding the staking ecosystem, ensuring protocol resilience (Lido Core upgrade), expanding new revenue streams for the DAO—Lido Earn, and exploring vertical expansion and real-world business applications. The proposal also outlines a three-year vision, including: making staking a mature and profitable product line; strengthening sustainability and driving revenue growth through vertical (building end-products) and horizontal (expanding into new assets such as stablecoins); and becoming a major gateway for real-world capital into DeFi. This proposal was 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 adopted, Lido DAO will make this a strategic direction by expanding its staking product line, developing end-user products that can capture higher value, broadening its product range, attracting new demand, and diversifying its revenue streams.
