Lido opens a vote on Curated Module fee tiers

What happened

Lido opened a Snapshot vote on an interim Curated Module fee structure with Standard, Extra Effort, and Client-Team operator tiers.

What changed

A concrete governance path opened to set the module-level operator share to 3.50% and pay qualifying operators an additional 0.50% or 1.00% through manual rebates.

What did not change

The proposal would leave Lido's overall 10% protocol fee unchanged. No approval or on-chain implementation occurred within the November event window, and Curated Module v2 remained a future proposal.

Confirmed

• The proposed operator tiers are 3.50%, 4.00%, and 4.50%.
• Technical limitations in Curated Module v1 would set the module-level operator fee to 3.50%.
• Higher-tier amounts would be paid through manual rebate-like operations.
• The overall protocol fee would remain 10%.
• The Snapshot vote opened on November 24 and extended beyond the November review window.

Still open

• The vote result and any subsequent Aragon approval or execution.
• The final operator classifications, rebate administrator, payment cadence, and verification controls.
• The effect on DAO revenue, operator retention, client yield, and operational-error exposure.
• The eventual Curated Module v2 fee and automation design.

What it means for an advisor

• Review the Lido memo's fee-allocation and manual-payment control map if the proposal advances.
• Verify the final vote, execution, tier assignments, and rebate authority before treating the economics as operative.
• Do not infer that lower or differentiated operator fees improve staking safety or decentralization.
