LayerZero announced plans to transition from its single-validator DVN setup to a default 3:3 multi-validator configuration. This decision follows the recent Kelp DAO rsETH incident. According to NS3.AI, LayerZero also issued an apology for inadequate communication regarding the event. The protocol itself remained unaffected, and LayerZero is planning a comprehensive upgrade to its security infrastructure.

LayerZero has issued an apology for its role in a security oversight that contributed to the April 18 exploit, which resulted in the loss of approximately $292 million from Kelp DAO's rsETH bridge. According to NS3.AI, the incident involved the use of LayerZero's own DVN in a 1/1 setup, which was compromised. The Lazarus Group exploited internal RPC nodes, while an external RPC provider was subjected to a DDoS attack. LayerZero clarified that the underlying protocol remained unaffected. In response, LayerZero announced that its Labs DVN will no longer support 1/1 configurations, and efforts are underway to migrate default pathways to a more secure 5/5 setup where feasible.

LayerZero Labs reported on the X platform that its internal RPC was targeted by the Lazarus Group over the past three weeks, compromising the real source of its Decentralized Verification Network (DVN). According to Odaily, external RPC providers also faced DDOS attacks, affecting 0.14% of applications and approximately 0.36% of asset value. LayerZero Labs assured that assets are currently secure, with over $9 billion having been transferred across the protocol since April 19.

In response to the security risks, LayerZero Labs has ceased offering 1/1 configuration services for its DVN, transitioning all default configurations to at least 3/3 or 5/5 multi-DVN modes. Additionally, following an incident three years ago involving the misuse of a hardware wallet by a multi-signature holder for personal transactions, the company has removed the signer and replaced the wallet. They have also developed a custom multi-signature system called OneSig.

LayerZero Labs advises developers to lock configurations to avoid reliance on default settings and plans to launch an asset management platform, Console, to enhance security monitoring.
