+The **Lido on Ethereum Liquid Staking Protocol** allows their users to earn staking rewards on the Beacon chain without locking Ether or maintaining staking infrastructure.
 
 Users can deposit Ether to the Lido smart contract and receive stETH tokens in return. The smart contract then stakes tokens with the DAO-picked node operators. Users' deposited funds are pooled by the DAO, node operators never have direct access to the users' assets.
 
 Unlike staked ether, the stETH token is free from the limitations associated with a lack of liquidity and can be transferred at any time. The stETH token balance corresponds to the amount of Ether that the holder could request to withdraw.

 ## Lido DAO
 
-The Lido DAO is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization that manages the liquid staking protocol by deciding on key parameters (e.g., setting fees, assigning node operators and oracles, etc.) through the voting power of governance token (DPG) holders.
+The [Lido DAO](https://docs.lido.fi/lido-dao) is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization that manages the liquid staking protocol by deciding on key parameters (e.g., setting fees, assigning node operators and oracles, performing upgrades, etc.) through the voting power of governance token (LDO) holders.
 
-Also, the DAO will accumulate service fees and spend them on insurance, research, development, and protocol upgrades. Initial DAO members will take part in the threshold signature for Ethereum 2.0 by making BLS threshold signatures.
+Also, the Lido DAO accumulates service fees and spends them on research, development, protocol upgrades execution, and hypothetical coverage applications.
 
-The Lido DAO is an [Aragon organization](https://aragon.org/dao). Since Aragon provides a full end-to-end framework to build DAOs, we use its standard tools. The protocol smart contracts extend AragonApp base contract and can be managed by the DAO.

 ## Deploying
 
-We have several ways to deploy lido smart-contracts and run DAO locally, you can find documents here:
-
-`lido-aragon` [documentation](/docs/lido-aragon.md)
-
-For local development, please see [local documentation](/docs/dev-local.md)
-
-To develop/test on fork, please see [fork documentation](/docs/dev-fork.md)
