Bits + Bips: How the Kelp rsETH Hack Left Aave With $193M in Bad Debt

Unchained

About this episode

Luke Leasure and Shaunda Devens of Blockworks Research explain how three compounding failures, Kelp's one-of-one bridge signer, Layer Zero's permissive default settings, and Aave's failure to flag it as a collateral risk, set up the conditions for the exploit.  Shaunda Devens then breaks down the monolithic pool design that concentrated risk, showing how 98% of rsETH collateral was backing a single leverage looping strategy.  This clip is from a longer conversation on the Kelp rsETH hack and its implications for DeFi.
