· 2026-04-24T17:45:43+00:00Hello @KelpDAO I am working on the research piece about the current situation. So far, you have not committed publicly to allocating any portion of your treasury to the DeFi United initiative. I believe you have the right to make things right and respond before we publish it,
· 2026-04-24T21:56:04+00:00I mean KelpDao is dead now. Why would you ever use them ?
· 2026-04-24T13:16:05+00:00We all saw what happened with the $293M Kelp Dao exploit Instances like this are why institutions haven’t gone fully onchain, no clear protection layer @Firelightfi integrates with Sentora to embed DeFi coverage across their billions in vaults including institutions like Kraken
· 2026-04-24T06:34:19+00:00Insight: Over $4.5B remains exposed to the Kelp DAO exploit vector as 47% of LayerZero OApps still run 1-of-1 DVN setups.
· 2026-04-24T23:00:07+00:00The KelpDAO exploit used the exact same technique as the Ronin Bridge hack from four years ago, forged bridge approvals, minted unbacked tokens, walked away with $292M. Four years and the industry still has not solved this. Same attack vector, same outcome, different protocol
· 2026-04-24T09:42:43+00:00Kelp and LayerZero are really shameless. Originally, the bulk of the problem was caused by these two guys, but now it's Aave stepping up to handle it—Aave's shouldered way too much responsibility, and now these two are dragging Aave along to deal with all this bad debt. These
· 2026-04-24T09:25:09+00:00How much is Kelp committing to plug the Aave hole? The ones doing the retarded setups need to shoulder the recovery effort
· 2026-04-24T13:35:52+00:00DeFi doesn’t break under pressure, it coordinates. After the @KelpDAO exploit drained about $292M in rsETH and left @aave with a large bad debt problem, the ecosystem moved fast to protect users and stabilize the protocol. Aave had exposure because rsETH was widely used as
· 2026-04-24T17:47:00+00:00Ongoing Risks After Kelp DAO Hack Over 4.5 billion dollars still exposed to the same hack vulnerability About 47% of LayerZero applications (OApps) are still running on 1-of-1 DVN setup, a security-weak and hackable model! Source: @coingecko
· 2026-04-24T15:39:41+00:00This is what industry-grade incident response should look like esp. when systems are stress-tested in real time. TLDR: Amidst the KelpDAO incident impacting @mETHProtocol , the rsETH exploit triggered elevated liquidation activity on Aave, rapidly draining available WETH
· 2026-04-24T19:56:25+00:00The fact that @aave , @LayerZero_Core , @KelpDAO , @StaniKulechov is not coming to the defense of @Thorchain is a problem. There is nothing virtuous about fixing your screwup, while letting someone else get slaughter for it, who had nothing to do with it.
· 2026-04-24T13:05:55+00:00Lately, quite a few people have been asking about the status of River, so I've put together a quick summary of the latest developments. Due to a recent security incident at Kelp DAO, the @RiverdotInc team has proactively suspended the cross-chain bridge functionality for satUSD
· 2026-04-24T17:14:44+00:00Discussions surrounding DeFi exploits and issuer responsibility continued, as @tether froze $344 million in USDT at the request of US authorities. The recent @DriftProtocol and @KelpDAO exploits have highlighted the central role of stablecoin issuers in onchain finance.
· 2026-04-24T18:43:23+00:00You check the contract before signing… but who’s watching AFTER the approval? April 2026 exposed a brutal truth: $600M+ drained across 12+ protocols not from user mistakes, but from approvals left unguarded. Drift ($285M) Kelp DAO ($292M) Rhea Finance ($18.4M) Same pattern:
· 2026-04-24T05:14:00+00:00In less than 4 months, this space lost well over $500M. And that’s just from the 2 mega-hacks everyone now knows: Kelp DAO ~ $293M Drift ~ $285M Here’s the short list that matters: • Kelp DAO: ~$293M • Drift: ~$285M • Step Finance: ~$27M–$40M • Truebit: ~$26.4M • Resolv
· 2026-04-24T15:33:49+00:00Really hope what’s happening with @KelpDAO , @LayerZero_Core , and @aave is the final lesson needed for a more robust DeFi The security stack needs a serious upgrade: • Proper Oracles (zero hard-coding) • Battle-tested multisigs • Intelligent TIMELOCKS
· 2026-04-24T20:47:18+00:00Optimism on KelpDAO fallout / Aave situation going up, as Mantle makes big proposal... h/t the great @andyyy :

The move comes as the shortfall exceeds 100,000
· 2026-04-24T14:34:24+00:00Here's how @KelpDAO could have been prevented. A natural language policy, cryptographically enforced. One policy check from @icme_labs . $292M saved.
