BREAKING: LayerZero Releases Post-Mortem on $290M KelpDAO rsETH Exploit KelpDAO suffered approximately $290M in losses due to their use of a single-DVN (1-of-1) configuration that relied solely on LayerZero Labs' verifier. The breach involved a highly sophisticated RPC-poisoning attack—attributed to the Lazarus Group / TraderTraitor—that managed to compromise certain RPC nodes used by the LayerZero Labs DVN. LayerZero has maintained that their protocol functioned as intended, noting that its modular security architecture contained the damage. However, they're facing significant criticism for permitting 1-of-1 configurations and for the fact that it was their own DVN that was deceived. In response, they've retired the compromised RPCs, restored the Labs DVN to operation, and are now blocking message signing for any application still running a 1-of-1 setup.
