@KelpDAO was reported attacked hours ago, with total losses estimated around $290M. Based on community on-chain analysis (e.g.,
@banteg), the likely root cause is a compromise of the configured DVN/verifier on the Unichain→Ethereum rsETH bridge route: the route relied on a 1-of-1 check, which may have let a forged/unbacked bridge message pass verification and trigger a drain from the protocol's rsETH Adapter.
The exploiter then deposited rsETH into Aave/Compound/Euler and borrowed roughly $236M in assets (WETH, wstETH, WBTC), which is the attacker’s tracked profit so far.
@aave has frozen rsETH markets (V3/V4).
The incident is still under investigation. The main risk now is contagion: thin rsETH liquidity could turn collateral exposure into bad debt.
