🔥 The biggest DeFi hack of 2026 just happened, and the community is fighting back. 💪
After the 292M KelpDAO exploit left rsETH underbacked and $AAVE with a massive collateral hole, Aave just launched "DeFi United" — a coordinated industry bailout to restore backing and protect users.
Who's stepping up so far?
- 🟢 Lido Finance: Up to 2,500 stETH (5.7M)
- 🔵 EtherFi Foundation: 5,000 ETH
- 🟣 Aave Founder Stani Kulechov: 5,000 ETH personally
- 🟡 Mantle Treasury: Up to 30,000 ETH loan proposal
- ⚪ Golem: 1,000 ETH
Aave has also paused rsETH reserves across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle & Linea to support recovery.
This is what DeFi solidarity looks like. 🤝 When one protocol falls, the ecosystem rallies. The total deficit exceeds 100,000 $ETH , but with Lido, EtherFi, Mantle and more joining forces, they're working to prevent forced liquidations and normalize markets.
Key takeaway: DeFi isn't just code — it's a community that protects its own. Will this set a new standard for cross-protocol crisis response? 👇
