A hacker stole over $290 million from the Kelp DAO ecosystem on Ethereum and Arbitrum by exploiting a key compromise in the rsETH cross-chain bridge. The attacker used stolen rsETH as collateral to borrow Wrapped Ethereum, accumulating over 106,400 ETH worth nearly $250 million. Lending platforms like Aave froze rsETH markets to contain the damage, causing AAVE token price to drop about 18%. Aave confirmed its core contracts were not breached and emergency measures are ongoing to prevent further losses.
