KelpDAO migrates rsETH to Chainlink CCIP, continues mutual blame with LayerZero over $292 million attack

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Kelp DAO has announced the migration of its restaking token rsETH to Chainlink CCIP, citing enhanced security as the reason. This comes after a cross-chain bridge built by Kelp DAO on Layer Zero was attacked on April 18, with hackers stealing approximately 116,500 rsETH, valued at around $292 million, and using the assets as collateral to borrow WETH on Aave v3.

Regarding the vulnerability, Layer Zero previously stated that the issue stemmed from Kelp DAO adopting a single DVN verification path configuration instead of multiple independent verifications. Kelp DAO responded that this configuration was the default setting and that Layer Zero had confirmed its security without flagging any associated risks. Layer Zero CEO Bryan Pellegrino subsequently denied this claim, asserting that Kelp DAO had actively modified the default multi-DVN configuration. Both parties continue to dispute responsibility.
