MASSIVE $292M CRYPTO EXPLOIT: KELP DAO DRAINED! 🚨
The DeFi world is reeling today. Kelp DAO just suffered a catastrophic exploit, with hackers walking away with a staggering $292 million. This is now officially the largest crypto hack of 2026.
Here is what’s happening right now:
THE ATTACK: The bridge infrastructure for rsETH was targeted, allowing the attacker to drain nearly $300M in liquid restaking tokens in a matter of minutes.
DEFI CONTAGION: This isn't just a Kelp problem. Major lending protocols like Aave and SparkLend have already hit the "kill switch," pausing rsETH markets to stop the bleeding.
A BRUTAL APRIL: This comes only weeks after the $285M Drift Protocol hack. The total stolen in just the last 20 days is approaching half a billion dollars.
The rsETH peg is under extreme pressure. If you are holding or using rsETH as collateral, now is the time to monitor your positions closely.
DeFi security is being tested like never before. Is this a sophisticated state-sponsored attack, or have we found a fundamental flaw in the cross-chain bridge "stack"?
STAY ALERT: Scammers are already out in force with fake "Refund" and "Claim" links. Do NOT click anything that isn't from a verified official source. 🛡️
