30K ETH deployed to cover Kelp bad debt via Aave
36 month structured deal
Lido APR plus 1 percent
AAVE collateral plus protocol revenue
No bailout mechanics
Onchain credit in action
Loss contained without forced shutdowns
Still early but this is how real financial rails start forming in DeFi
$ETH remains at the center of that liquidity layer
