Lido DAO recently finalized an interesting proposal. They introduced the SEAL White Hat Security Protocol, with the core idea of allowing white hat hackers to intervene according to rules during sudden attacks, directly freeze and recover the attacked funds, and return them to the protocol.



The incentive mechanism is well-designed — white hats can receive 10% of the recovered funds as a reward, with a single transaction cap of $2 million. This approach can attract genuine security researchers without encouraging excessive risk-taking. This white hat rescue plan operates completely independently and will not conflict with the existing bug bounty system.

Most importantly, this proposal received 100% support in the Snapshot community vote, indicating that everyone recognizes this proactive security defense mechanism. For DeFi to play the long game, security incentives should be as detailed as possible.

Wait a minute, I need to break this down... 100% support rate? How is that possible? When has on-chain voting ever received a perfect score, unless it was pre-arranged? We need to see which whales' wallets cast the votes, could they all be Lido insiders? How is the 10% cap of 2 million calculated? If we reverse it, does that mean it's only worth the trouble if we can recover up to 20 million? It feels a bit deliberate...

100% support rate? That's a bit too harmonious. Is the Lido community really that united? Honestly, a 10% reward cap of two million is acceptable; at least it didn't turn white hats into bounty hunters. The fact that SEAL protocol operates independently is indeed clever, avoiding conflicts with the existing system. Wait, can they really respond so quickly to sudden attacks? Blockchain doesn't wait for anyone. This idea is good, but the execution details will depend on what happens next. Don't let it be just on paper again.

100% support rate? Well... it depends on who is voting, the whale addresses' chips are right there. The $2 million cap is a bit interesting, but the real bug finders have already negotiated private terms. This wave of incentive mechanisms is essentially about screening—seeing who is willing to follow the rules. As for the others? They've long since taken a different route. White Hat Port sounds good, but... have you ever thought that this mechanism itself is another form of power centralization?

100% support rate? If I had known about this earlier, it would have been great. Now I can only watch others earn safety fees. If I had paid more attention to Lido's community voting earlier, maybe I would also be part of the white hat rescue team now, with a $2 million cap. This incentive mechanism definitely wouldn't be enough for me; I still need to see how others play with this system. DeFi security is getting more competitive, and I feel like I'm always one step behind.
