Lido DAO executed two onchain governance changes in September: Vote #205 on September 21 and Vote #206 in a separate action. Vote #205 added an execution-delegation upgrade, DepositSecurityModule v5, operational key rotations, and a Deposit Reserve Target Easy Track mechanism capped at 9,600 ETH, while Vote #206 updated staking-router and node-operator settings without changing stETH withdrawal mechanics.

Key claims & sources

✓
Lido DAO’s Aragon Vote #205 passed and was executed on September 21 at 13:45 UTC.
✓
That same package included LIP-37, a DepositSecurityModule v5 upgrade, operational-key rotations, and a Deposit Reserve Target Easy Track mechanism with a 9,600 ETH ceiling.
✓
Lido DAO executed onchain Vote #206, which updated staking-router and node-operator configuration.
✓
Vote #206 did not alter stETH withdrawal mechanics.

What it means

Lido DAO operators and node operators are the immediate group touched by these changes, because the September governance actions adjusted execution delegation, security-module settings, and node-operator configuration. Users watching stETH and staking operations would notice that the governance work was operational rather than a change to withdrawal mechanics.
