BREAKING: Aave Issues Official Statement Regarding the $293 Million Hack

As the security crisis stemming from KelpDAO in the cryptocurrency market escalates, Aave has issued an official statement. The protocol announced that urgent measures have been taken regarding rsETH markets following the incident.

Aave announced that the rsETH markets on Aave V3 and Aave V4 have been frozen. This step was taken following an attack on the KelpDAO’s rsETH bridge. The statement also added that Aave smart contracts were not directly attacked, and the problem stemmed from a security vulnerability on the rsETH side.

In line with this decision, new deposit and borrowing transactions using rsETH collateral have been temporarily suspended. The Aave team stated that this move was implemented to assess the current situation and limit potential risks.
