Developing. Some claims here are not yet confirmed; they are listed apart from the confirmed facts. A new version replaces this one when the primary evidence changes.

## What happened

Lido's Snapshot supported adding EasyTrack factories through which the Relay Maintenance Committee could add, edit, or remove entries in the MEV-Boost Relay Allowed List.

## What changed

The proposed design would make EasyTrack's EVMScriptExecutor the allowlist manager and use the Relay Maintenance Committee as trusted caller, replacing a manual multisignature update workflow with challengeable EasyTrack motions.

## What did not change

The factories and manager-role change were not deployed in March. The Snapshot did not itself modify any relay entry or remove LDO-holder oversight.

## Confirmed

- Lido node operators are required to use at least one relay from the mandatory category of the allowlist.
- The proposal specified Add, Edit, and Remove MEV-Boost relay factories and an EVMScriptExecutor manager role.
- The March Snapshot reached quorum and passed.
- Security audit and on-chain execution were identified as later prerequisites.

## Still open

- Final factory code, deployed addresses, audit results, and on-chain authorization were pending during March.
- The operational effect on challenge periods and emergency-brake procedures required verification after deployment.
- No specific relay addition, removal, or reclassification was authorized by this event.

## What it means for an advisor

- Review the Lido control map for the proposed manager, trusted-caller, challenge, and emergency-brake paths.
- Verify final contracts and on-chain authorization before treating the workflow as operative.
- Continue monitoring relay concentration and availability separately from the governance mechanism.
