🚨 TRON DAO Responds Swiftly to Bridge Security Incident
Following the $292M exploit affecting Kelp DAO’s rsETH bridge on April 18, 2026, TRON DAO has taken immediate precautionary action by temporarily pausing all TRX LayerZero OFT bridge operations.
The issue stems from a sophisticated vulnerability involving forged cross-chain messages within LayerZero infrastructure. While the exploit directly impacted Kelp DAO, it has prompted heightened vigilance across the entire DeFi ecosystem.
Key points for the TRON community:
✅ The TRON mainnet remains fully secure and unaffected
✅ This is a targeted, temporary pause on LayerZero integrations only
✅ User funds on TRON are safe and not at risk
We are acting in alignment with other leading protocols, including etherFi, Morpho, and Ethena, which have also paused their LayerZero OFT bridges as a coordinated precaution.
At TRON DAO, security is not optional—it is foundational. This proactive pause allows us to complete a thorough assessment before safely resuming operations.
We will continue to provide transparent updates as the review progresses.
TRON remains committed to building a secure, resilient, and trustworthy DeFi ecosystem—even when that means slowing down to protect users.
