Lido: rsETH theft incident affects EarnTH, with an exposure of approximately $21.6 million. Withdrawals and withdrawals have been suspended
Odaily Planet Daily News: Lido posted on X platform that on April 18th, Kelp's cross chain bridge was attacked, and about 116500 rsETH (about 292 million US dollars) were stolen. Subsequently, related assets were frozen in lending markets such as Aave. Its treasury product EarnTH has a risk exposure of approximately 9% (approximately $21.6 million) through its rsETH/ETH leveraged position on Aave, while the increase in borrowing utilization is putting cost pressure on other strategies. The team is pushing into leverage and reducing overall risk. Lido pointed out that the ultimate impact of rsETH positions depends on the subsequent disposal of Kelp, LayerZero, and Aave, including loss sharing, asset recovery, and bad debt treatment. In terms of risk mitigation, EarnETH can activate a $3 million "first loss protection mechanism" (provided by DAO Treasury) if necessary to cover losses, but the specific scale of use remains to be further evaluated. At present, the vault has suspended deposits and withdrawals to ensure fairness and complete loss assessment; If the processing progress is slow, the redemption channel may be reopened according to the worst-case scenario. The official emphasized that stETH and wstETH were not affected, and the core staking protocol did not participate in this event.
