· 2026-04-20T00:50:28+00:00KelpDAO dismantled the lock on its own door, LayerZero is selling the kind of door where you can pick the lock yourself, and Aave assumed the neighbor's door was definitely locked tight, so it confidently took the neighbor's key as collateral. The best outcome is to negotiate

· 2026-04-20T15:34:53+00:00So let me get this straight. Layerzero blames Kelp. Kelp blames layerzero. Aave is silent. And seems like all 3 are not communicating. I urge all 3 parties to get a grip. If you are all worried about liability so much, inaction also carries liability. The handling of this

· 2026-04-20T19:10:29+00:00As expected, it turned out that the LayerZero project is responsible for the error that led to the Kelp protocol breach.

· 2026-04-20T20:32:56+00:00The most concerning aspect of the LayerZero hack is that they released a "post mortem" that wasn't a post mortem at all.
