LayerZero: KelpDAO attack results in approximately $292 million in losses
CryptoWorld News: LayerZero Labs discloses KelpDAO bridge attack, approximately 116,500 RSETH stolen, with a market value of about $292 million. The attacker poisoned RPC infrastructure and overwhelmed external nodes, forging cross-chain messages, prompting applications to adopt 1-to-1 DVN configurations. The incident only affected KelpDAO's 1-to-1 setup and did not impact other assets or applications. Occurred on 2026-04-18. LayerZero is improving risk configurations and will no longer sign any application messages with 1/1 configurations.
