Lido Lend contributors have introduced the Guardian Security Council, a mechanism that screens collateral deposits before they become active in the protocol. New borrowing collateral passes through a "maturation window" while the council checks collateral provenance and depositor addresses for hacked or sanctioned funds, aiming to stop attackers from using tainted collateral to borrow clean assets. Guardian powers are intentionally limited: bans block new borrowing and pending collateral maturation but do not affect repayment, liquidation, settlement, or debt-free withdrawals. Each market will have its own council of independent operators, with composition and maturation details subject to DAO approval.
