<p style="text-align: justify">On July 11, the <strong>Lido</strong> community reached a significant decision on the Snapshot governance page, where members voted to approve a proposal to appoint a designated entity to respond to ongoing class-action lawsuits against Lido DAO. This step marks an important moment for the DAO and reflects its effective approach to directly addressing legal challenges. The class-action lawsuit, numbered 3:23-cv-06492, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="lido-dao-and-legal-challenges">Lido DAO and Legal Challenges</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The complaint identifies the defendant as the “general partnership known as <strong>LIDO DAO</strong>,” accusing it of running an <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/ethereum-kicks-off-q3-with-a-rise-despite-bitcoins-recent-dip/" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a> staking <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">business</a> and alleging that LDO tokens or transactions are classified as securities.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Additionally, Lido DAO is accused of violating securities laws by offering or selling these securities to the public. This lawsuit represents a significant legal hurdle for Lido DAO, potentially impacting its operations and the broader DeFi environment.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="court-decision-and-lido-dao-s-response">Court Decision and Lido DAO’s Response</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">On June 27, the court issued a critical decision, finding that it was lawful for plaintiffs to serve legal documents to Lido DAO through various public disclosures.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">This decision required Lido DAO to respond within 14 days; otherwise, the DAO could face a default judgment in favor of the plaintiffs. The urgency and seriousness of the situation forced the Lido community to act swiftly.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="appointment-of-dolphin-cl-llc">Appointment of Dolphin CL, LLC</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The proposal suggested appointing and funding Dolphin CL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, while not recognizing Lido DAO as a partnership, association, or other legally identifiable group or entity.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Dolphin was tasked with hiring legal counsel expected to be provided by the Brown Rudnick firm, with Stephen Palley as the lead partner. This strategic move was designed to ensure a strong defense against the allegations presented in the lawsuit.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="how-will-funding-be-provided">How Will Funding Be Provided?</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">To facilitate this, the proposal requested funding of 200,000 <strong>DAI</strong>. This amount is expected to cover the expenses of Dolphin and the legal team, particularly for preparing, filing, and defending a motion to dismiss the claims against Lido DAO.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The community’s approval of this proposal reflects their determination to protect the DAO’s interests and continue operations amid legal scrutiny.</p>
