According to CryptoSlate’s analysis of the Lido Lend merger proposal on November 9, a standard market freeze would still allow repayments, liquidations, and lender withdrawals; a broader controller pause, however, would block these operations as well as direct interest updates. When interest accrual is subsequently resumed, it will continue to compound based on the last update time, including the paused period, meaning borrowers' debt could increase once repayment channels are restored. This is a proposed design, and the report did not announce that a DAO approval vote has been completed or that the first market has been created, nor does it indicate that the protocol is currently implementing a pause.
