Arbitrum freezes hacker funds after Kelp DAO exploit


Arbitrum froze 30,765 ETH (~$70M) linked to the Kelp DAO hacker using a special system-level transaction.
What’s notable:
▪️ Funds were moved to a DAO-controlled address without the attacker’s private key
▪️ No chain rollback or block reorg blockchain history stayed intact
▪️ Instead, Arbitrum used a privileged transaction type within ArbOS to override state
