Abstract generation in progress

Mars Finance reports that Lido posted on the X platform stating that its EarnETH vault was affected by the theft of 116.5k rsETH (approximately $292 million) from the Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge on April 18. EarnETH holds about $21.6 million worth of rsETH risk exposure through leveraged positions of rsETH/ETH on Aave, accounting for roughly 9% of the vault’s total assets. The EarnETH team is actively deleveraging to reduce risk, with the outcome depending on the final decisions by Kelp, LayerZero, and Aave regarding loss sharing and bad debt handling. Lido further stated that EarnETH has a $3 million “first-loss protection mechanism” funded by the Lido DAO treasury, which will be used to cover losses if necessary. Currently, the vault has suspended redemption processing to assess the losses. This incident does not affect stETH and wstETH, and the Lido core staking protocol was not involved.
