The developer, who goes by kadmil, recommended that the governance platform, known as Lido DAO, should diversify around half of its ETH into stablecoins to pay for Lido's operations for the next two years. Kadmil expressed concerns that if the price of ETH spiraled down in future against the US dollar, the DAO will have far fewer resources for operational overhead and reimbursement of DAO contributors.
At the same time, the proposal asked the DAO not to sell any of its own LDO governance tokens as that would put “unnecessary price pressure” on its price.
