[Aave: 116,500 rsETH Released in April 18 rsETH Incident, Asset Backing Fully Restored] Odaily Planet Daily News – Aave released a post-incident investigation regarding the April 18 rsETH event, stating that the rsETH LayerZero V2 cross-chain bridge of the liquid staking protocol Kelp accepted forged messages during the cross-chain process from Unichain to Ethereum. This led to the release of 116,500 rsETH on the Ethereum side adapter, while no corresponding burn occurred on the Unichain side. Aave indicated that the attack occurred on third-party cross-chain bridge infrastructure. However, the attacker deposited the stolen rsETH into 8 Aave V3 positions and borrowed 82,650 WETH and 821 wstETH, impacting the Aave market. Aave stated that the attacker’s rsETH on Arbitrum has now been destroyed, and the LayerZero OFT adapter has replenished 116,131.72 rsETH in five batches. The asset backing for rsETH has been fully restored, and the affected WETH and rsETH markets have returned to normal.
