Lido's latest governance proposal introduces the SEAL (Security Alliance) Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement on Ethereum. This framework establishes a controlled intervention mechanism allowing certified whitehats to act during active exploits, enabling rapid fund rescue for users and protocol treasury under predefined operational guidelines. The initiative represents a significant step toward proactive DeFi security architecture, balancing immediate threat response with governance oversight. By formalizing the whitehats' protective role within strict parameters, the agreement aims to strengthen the smart contract ecosystem's resilience against exploitation while maintaining community transparency and protocol integrity.
