Liquid restaking protocol Kelp DAO is challenging LayerZero's narrative regarding a $290 million rsETH bridge exploit, claiming the compromised single-verifier setup was LayerZero's own infrastructure and an onboarding default, not an outlier configuration chosen against advice.
Kelp DAO's LayerZero-powered bridge was exploited for 116,500 rsETH, valued at $292 million, representing 18% of the token's circulating supply. The attack has triggered emergency freezes across major DeFi protocols like Aave and SparkLend, raising concerns about rsETH backing on layer 2 networks.
The $270 million Drift exploit wasn't a typical smart contract hack but a sophisticated, months-long social engineering campaign allegedly orchestrated by North Korea, forcing the DeFi community to confront a new era of human-centric security threats.
