KelpDAO deny di LayerZero exploit and move rsETH go CCIP

KelpDAO publicly question LayerZero Labs wetin dem talk about the LayerZero exploit wey happen 18 April 2026, tok say the root cause na LayerZero infrastructure failure, no be rsETH integration misconfiguration. KelpDAO talk say the attack clear DeFi funds worth over $300M across different protocols. For their updated claims, KelpDAO say LayerZero DVN sign and process two extra fake transactions worth more than $100M before LayerZero pause contract dem. Dem reject the “configuration issue” story, say the same 1-of-1 DVN “security floor” dey widely used, e dey inside LayerZero defaults, and e show for official documentation/templates. Kelp also point to compromised off-chain monitoring and fake attestations wey DVN approve. Independent analysis too talk say the event show bigger infrastructure compromise, no be only RPC-layer palava. LayerZero postmortem admit the “RPC spoofing” mechanics, including RPC endpoint access and node takeover, but KelpDAO and external reviewers say the safeguards no strong because forged messages still reach the approval path. As response, KelpDAO pause contracts and dem dey review their bridge stack. Next, KelpDAO plan reduce single points of failure by moving rsETH from LayerZero’s OFT standard go Chainlink’s CCIP (Cross-Chain Token standard). For traders, the immediate takeaway na risk-off sentiment about the LayerZero exploit and bridge security assumptions, and CCIP migration fit be medium-term de-risking catalyst for rsETH.
