## What happened

Lido approved a 3-of-5 stVaults Committee intended to configure reserve ratios, operator tiers, DAO fees, and certain bad-debt compensation decisions through Easy Track.

## What changed

The DAO approved a delegated control body and defined its intended authority over material stVault economic and risk parameters.

## What did not change

The committee's stVault authority was not yet operative because the V3 system and enabling on-chain actions had not been executed.

## Confirmed

- The approved committee address was 0x18A1065c81b0Cc356F1b1C843ddd5E14e4AefffF.
- The approved signing threshold was 3-of-5.
- The mandate included reserve ratios, tier grids, DAO fees, and complex bad-debt compensation decisions.
- Proposed committee actions were subject to Easy Track and tokenholder objection.

## Still open

- The final on-chain permissions and Easy Track factories had not yet been executed.
- The limits on discretion in complex slashing and bad-debt cases required reconciliation to deployed code.
- Committee monitoring, conflict management, and replacement performance remained untested.

## What it means for an advisor

- Add the committee multisig and Easy Track objection path to Lido's control map before V3 execution.
- Verify that deployed permissions match the approved mandate and cannot bypass DAO review.
- Review how committee-directed reserve and bad-debt decisions could affect stETH liquidity or loss allocation.
