DeFi United announces technical solution for rsETH Kelp vulnerability fix, plans to liquidate approximately 107k tokens held by the attacker

ChainCatcher News, DeFi United announced on Tuesday a technical fix plan for the Kelp DAO rsETH cross-chain bridge vulnerability. Previously, an attacker exploited a vulnerability in the LayerZero-powered Unichain to Ethereum bridge, forging inbound data packets to release 116,500 rsETH, of which approximately 107,000 are still distributed as collateral across seven related addresses on Aave and Compound.

DeFi United stated that it has secured enough ETH commitments to support the recovery of rsETH, which will be converted into rsETH in batches and injected into the bridging lock contract. LayerZero Labs pledged on Tuesday to invest over 10,000 ETH to support the repair efforts. Regarding the liquidation of the attacker’s positions, the alliance will execute controlled liquidations through governance proposals on Aave and Compound, expected to recover approximately 13,000 ETH and 16,776 ETH respectively.

During the repair period, WETH and rsETH reserves on multiple chains will remain frozen. DeFi United also warned about execution risks, including governance approval delays, potential interference by attackers, and the fact that new security measures are still awaiting validation in a production environment.
