Kelp DAO announced that rsETH has fully recovered after five weeks of repairs, following a $293 million hacker attack
Kelp DAO announced on Monday that after losing $293 million due to an attack by North Korea's Lazarus Group on April 18, rsETH has been fully restored after five weeks of repairs. Kelp DAO stated that the final batch of 20,373.7 rsETH has been sent to the LayerZero smart contract responsible for cross-chain transfers, officially concluding the operational phase of the rsETH recovery plan.
Multiple crypto protocols contributed funds through the DeFi United initiative to assist in restoring the support for rsETH. The first batch of 25,000 rsETH was transferred on May 13, and withdrawals were reopened the next day. Currently, minting, redemption, and reward operations are all functioning normally. This attack caused a chain reaction in the DeFi lending market, with the attacker borrowing WETH using a large amount of stolen rsETH as collateral on Aave, resulting in Aave incurring $190 million in bad debt. The TVL dropped from $26.4 billion to below $14 billion and has since remained in the range of $13.9 billion to $15.1 billion without showing signs of recovery. In April, there were 25 crypto hacking incidents, resulting in total losses of $630 million.
