KelpDAO Exploit Triggers DeFi Crisis
- Widespread Impact: The KelpDAO exploit, initiated on April 18 due to a LayerZero bridge breach, created over 116,000 unbacked rsETH, rapidly triggering DeFi risks and forcing urgent recovery efforts across multiple lending platforms, highlighting systemic vulnerabilities.
- Aave's Deepening Losses: With the backing of rsETH as collateral weakened, Aave now faces bad debt between $177 million and over $200 million, as users rushed to withdraw funds, leading to a rapid liquidity drain that reflects a collapse in market confidence.
- Lido's All-or-Nothing Proposal: The KelpDAO exploit prompted Lido DAO to propose a recovery plan to contribute up to 2,500 stETH, contingent on the full recovery plan being funded, aiming to avoid the risks associated with partial solutions that leave users exposed.
- Governance Mechanism Transparency: The response to the exploit sheds light on governance mechanics, requiring the proposal to undergo an on-chain vote via Aragon, ensuring transparency and security in fund transfers, which emphasizes the risks tied to fund management in DeFi systems.
