Lido approves Rewards Share Committee reform

What happened

Lido DAO approved reforming and relaunching the Rewards Share Committee as a DAO-authorized operational committee with added duties for node-operator rebates and stVault rewards disbursement.

What changed

The approved mandate expands the committee's operational role in allocating approved rebates and executing treasury-funded stVault reward payments within DAO-approved budgets.

What did not change

The vote did not itself change stETH withdrawals, the core staking fee, validator balances, or demonstrate that any particular payment had been executed.

Confirmed

• The official vote closed on 2026-01-26.
• Approximately 54.58 million voting units supported the proposal, with approximately 1.32 against.
• The approved mandate covers manual node-operator rebates and operational execution of stVault reward disbursements within approved budgets.

Still open

• The candidate record does not establish when the reformed committee began operating.
• Specific future payout instructions and their on-chain execution remain separate actions.

What it means for an advisor

• Review the Lido memo's operational-control map to reflect the committee's approved treasury-disbursement and rebate duties.
• Continue to distinguish committee execution authority from DAO approval of budgets and from the separate stVault Committee's payout instructions.
