· 2026-04-22T17:49:01+00:00The @KelpDAO case showed that the problem wasn't the number of DVNs @LayerZero_Core had, but the overall infrastructure. Even transitions like @ethena 's involving @nethermind , @HorizenLabs , @LayerZero_Core , and @canary_proto only make sense when they're backed by real
