## What happened

Lido voters approved LIP-28’s final implementation, parameters, and committee structure.

## What changed

The approval authorized a dynamic timelock through which stETH holders can delay motions and ultimately block execution until a rage quit completes.

## What did not change

No May evidence established deployment, role transfer, live escrow, or active veto protection.

## Confirmed

- The first-seal threshold was proposed at 1% of Lido Ethereum TVL.
- The second seal was 10%.
- Emergency, reseal, and tiebreaker committees were included.

## Still open

- The later Aragon vote and execution.
- Final thresholds, signer sets, permissions, and GateSeal configuration.
- Behavior during mass withdrawal or committee failure.

## What it means for an advisor

- Review governance, timelock, committee, and withdrawal-capacity assumptions.
- Verify deployed contracts and roles before treating Dual Governance as operative.
