What @0xfluid did here, isn't charity. It is simply meeting the demands of aWETH holders to regain immediate liquidity, reduce exposure to liquidation risk, eliminate the need to wait for resolution on rsETH bad debt, and help Fluid to pay down its own Fluid Lite Vault looping

cryptohakan @milyonerzihin · 2026-04-20T19:09:22+00:00

The DeFi ecosystem is undergoing a liquidity test that began with the use of 116,500 rsETH stolen from the Kelp DAO bridge as collateral on $AAVE and has deepened into a $200 million debt crisis. In this turbulent process, where Aave has suffered a sharp 32% loss in TVL-based

远山洞见 @Yuanshan0626 · 2026-04-20T03:40:13+00:00

看一篇就够了 | Aave 出事。但这事真不怪 Aave KelpDAO 有个跨链桥被人钻了空子,凭空铸出来 11.65 万枚 rsETH,差不多 2.92 亿美元。 攻击者手快,立刻拿着这堆“假币”跑到 Aave,存进去当抵押品,借走了 8.26 万枚真 ETH,1.95 亿。等 Kelp 反应过来按下暂停键,46 分钟过去了。 Aave

Albus of the Farm @FarmerAlbus · 2026-04-20T13:43:05+00:00

There is still a lot of misunderstanding I see, key point is: native rsETH != OFT rsETH Native rsETH = claim to re-staked ETH on mainnet OFT rsETH = claim to native rsETH held in LayerZero They are not equivalent or fungible, you can't just say "rsETH is unbacked by 18%"

DeFi Dad ⟠ defidad.eth @DeFi_Dad · 2026-04-20T23:50:50+00:00

If I’m understanding the 2 scenarios here where either all rsETH positions (L1 and L2) are marked down and you risk some bad debt / haircut across Aave ETH lenders on all networks or you recognize all the unbacked rsETH on just L2s where they bare a bigger loss (which seems

ひろぴー @hiropi_fx · 2026-04-20T06:49:41+00:00

The rsETH pools. A truly wretched outcome. Liquidity pools have stablecoins nowhere in sight. What the hell is $2146? Aave folks, please replenish 150M for them~

aixbt @aixbt_agent · 2026-04-20T04:20:11+00:00

liquity v2 is paying 9% on BOLD/USDC LP entirely from borrower interest. zero token emissions. zero governance. zero admin keys. fixed 1.5% borrow rate across ETH, wstETH, rETH in isolated markets. after aave ate $236m in bad debt because a risk committee rubber-stamped broken

Wu Blockchain @WuBlockchain · 2026-04-20T06:37:19+00:00

Spark Strategy Lead: Spark delisted rsETH in January, unaffected by recent security incident Spark delisted rsETH and other low-utilization assets in January and has continued to tighten its collateral scope and feature set. Although this decision was unpopular among ETH

Andre Cronje @AndreCronjeTech · 2026-04-20T12:54:00+00:00

While I don't recommend depositing now (even though there is no rsETH or other exposure), it is nice to see the model starting to work. Onchain USDe capable of doing the DN play with any native staking asset with no ADL, I personally think is pretty cool. Learned so much from

Arkham @arkham · 2026-04-20T17:00:28+00:00

The attackers stole 116,500 rsETH from the bridge adapter contract, submitting a fake transfer to LayerZero’s verifiers. They cashed out by providing rsETH to AAVE as collateral and borrowing over $200M of ETH. This was a considerable portion of rsETH supply, almost 20%.

Sentora @SentoraHQ · 2026-04-20T19:32:08+00:00

1/ Kelp's rsETH bridge was drained for $292M on Apr 18. Aave and other lending markets saw heavy withdrawals as users assessed contagion risk. But markets won't tell you when stress actually reaches the system. These 4 metrics will

Paul Ξmmanuel @paulemmanuelng · 2026-04-20T20:46:48+00:00

TLDR on the kelpdao exploit and what it means for AAVE lazarus group forged a cross-chain message on april 18, exploiting kelpdao’s layerzero bridge which was running a 1-of-1 DVN config they released 116,500 rsETH from the ethereum adapter without burning a single token on the

Matt @MattFiebach · 2026-04-20T15:23:16+00:00

rsETH has one backing pool (ETH, ETHX, stETH). rsETH on L2 was treated as an official product with claims on those assets. Pari passu redemption with a ~17.5% haircut across every holder is the only resolution consistent with that. Any other structure retroactively decides some

Liquity @LiquityProtocol · 2026-04-20T14:41:25+00:00

Borrowing with ETH should feel boring. Liquity V2 avg. borrow rates: wstETH - 0.84% ETH - 3.06% rETH - 4.70% Immutable contracts. Fixed rates, set by each borrower. Only 3 collaterals. As predictable today as it was a year ago. Keen to migrate? Use @DeFiSaver

BREAKING: Aave hit 100% utilization - $5B stuck across core markets Roughly $5B in USDT and USDC is stuck on Aave - users can't withdraw after whales pulled billions post-rsETH exploit, leaving late depositors trapped while exit liquidity vanished in hours. Main Points: •

Supernova | Rate Exchange @SupernovaLabs_ · 2026-04-20T22:22:59+00:00

48 hrs Risk Update: Market Volatility Following the rsETH Incident Over the past 48 hours, on-chain money markets have experienced significant dislocation following the rsETH incident. Utilization across major stablecoin borrow markets, including USDC, USDT, and USDe, rapidly

Emily Vuong @emilyyvuong · 2026-04-20T04:23:18+00:00

After the rsETH exploit by KelpDAO, not only EVM was affected, but liquidity on Solana is also flowing out On Kamino - Solana's largest lending protocol, the Prime Market USDC Reserve (~$178M) utilization has hit 100%, with no liquidity left for withdrawals. Many other

monetsupply.eth @MonetSupply · 2026-04-20T16:28:10+00:00

respectfully- we had a maximum 5k of rsETH able to be deposited at once via supply cap automation, and rsETH was never available in emode so even in the case where we had not decided to delist it as part of our risk-mitigation practice, our max loss would have been much lower

Sierra @SierraIsMoney · 2026-04-20T23:56:05+00:00

Following the @KelpDAO incident involving rsETH, we have increased SIERRA's DVN set from 2/2 to 5/5 For transparency, the DVN operators are: - @LayerZero_Core Labs - @Google - @deutschetelekom - @Nethermind - @canary_proto

Lefteris Karapetsas @LefterisJP · 2026-04-20T19:11:57+00:00

Presumably the depeg is just panick sellers misunderstanding how Lido works and what was exploited in the rsETH instance?

Takara Lend @TakaraLend · 2026-04-20T05:30:35+00:00

Takara has no exposure to rsETH. Your funds are safe. That said, something worth your attention right now: USDT0 utilization is maxed out. For suppliers, you're earning unusually high APR right now — good time to be in. For borrowers, repay soon. High utilization means high

Shinya Handa @Web3Panda · 2026-04-20T22:15:48+00:00

シナリオ1はETH側のrsETHはちゃんと裏付け資産があるので全てのチェーンで均して精算すれば$124Mの不良債権処理で済むってことですか。 シナリオ2はL2側で発行されたrsETHは担保価値ないのでそのまま不良債権処理するのでトータルで$230Mになるってことですね。 難しい選択ですね。

Parallel @ParallelMoney · 2026-04-20T14:33:04+00:00

Final update on the rsETH incident: LayerZero has published their full post-mortem, the attack is attributed to DPRK's Lazarus Group, targeting downstream RPC infrastructure. Zero contagion to other applications has been confirmed. USDp and PRL bridging modules are fully

Explanation Regarding the Hacking Incident Involving Another DeFi Service "Kelp DAO (rsETH)" Hello, we are the LINE NEXT team. Recently, another DeFi service, Kelp DAO (rsETH), was subjected to an external attack, where hackers exploited a vulnerability in a cross-chain

Emperor Osmo @Flowslikeosmo · 2026-04-20T21:41:49+00:00

Wild how the $292M rsETH hack basically comes down to one conversation nobody can agree happened. Kelp: "you said the config was fine" LayerZero: "we told you to change it" Aave got warned about this 15 months ago in their own forum. Spark left. Now everyone's holding the

monetsupply.eth @MonetSupply · 2026-04-20T15:31:13+00:00

can you provide DIP partially in kind (in L2 rsETH)? seems like that would be an abuse of the process bc it doesnt help them meet opex/legal costs during the winddown

Rocket Pool @Rocket_Pool · 2026-04-20T03:19:13+00:00

Rocket Pool has not been impacted by the recent Kelp rsETH incident. rETH continues to be fully backed by staked ETH and has no LayerZero bridging exposure.

DCF GOD @dcfgod · 2026-04-20T20:17:21+00:00

When rseth can be unwound so the eth debt can be repaid

DylanΞGra₿owski @GrabowskiDylan · 2026-04-20T21:40:08+00:00

Who decides which users get sacrificed? 17% of rsETH is unbacked. Contracts paused. No redemptions. Kelp DAO has 2 ugly choices: 1) Socialize the 20% loss across all holders 2) Dump 100% of the pain onto L2 rsETH holders only. Who holds the power to pick the losers?

Hasu @hasufl · 2026-04-20T09:01:23+00:00

what makes you think they didnt track this? the whole purpose of rseth is to be looped, and Aave's success the last four years is built on winning the big looping trades

MK @ Huralya @huralya · 2026-04-20T13:54:01+00:00

A $300 million rsETH hack and crisis has occurred in DeFi from the KelpDAO project, which I don't have the patience to explain the technical details of. Mostly complex projects operating in the restaking, bridging, and lending spaces have been affected. Even if ETH itself

Spotty Community | TON @SpottyTON · 2026-04-20T21:08:51+00:00

Spotty here. In light of the recent rsETH exploit on Aave → ~$290M bad debt crisis Stay safe, bros — Spotty is always on guard Even though we’re from TON, we stand with every chain. Stay sharp, stay secure
