So you recently received a grant to help us advance the community of stakers in Lido on Ethereum? Congrats! This document provides the communication guidelines for grantees of the Community Staking Grants. This helps standarize communications and be clear about the nature of your relationship with the Lido DAO.
If you have any questions, please reach out to any of the Community Lifeguards:
🤝 The Lido DAO - Grantee Relationship
You can say that Lido supports the project/event/initiative, but that does NOT imply that we are partners or organizers.
If your grant falls under the events category, we ask you to include Lido as part of the sponsors, unless agreed otherwise.
📲 Social Media Posts
Beneficiaries can, and in fact, are encouraged to share their grant and progress in social media mentioning they have received support from Lido’s Community Staking Grants. Here’s a list of our social media platforms:
Do âś…
“We’re glad to announce that [project name] has received a grant from @LidoFinance’s Community Staking Grants, thanks for the support.”
Don’t ❌
“@LidoFinance has partnered with [project name]!”
đź«‚ Keep the Community updated!
Grants are requested to be posted on the forum for transparency (except for event sponsorships or small thank-you retroactives). Please make sure to post regular updates and a final report at completion.
This helps your project gain visibility and receive feedback, as well as making sure the community can follow the latest on your grant and asses its impact.
🎨 Lido’s Brand Assets
To help with announcements or the material of your grant we have a collection of brand assets you must use when graphically representing Lido or any of the initiatives (i.e., SDVT and CSM).

The Community Staking Grants are managed by the Community Lifeguards Initiative at Lido. It supports projects and individuals contributing to the growing community of operators participating in the Lido protocol. Any mention or misuse of the program and Lido’s brand won’t be recognized and will be asked to be taken down.
