292M gone. 73,700 ETH recovered. But the math still leaves an 89,500 ETH hole - and DeFi is scrambling for a fix.
Aave just proposed "DeFi United": a mutual-aid war chest where Aave contributes 25,000 ETH to plug KelpDAO's exploit damage. It's either the most cooperative moment in DeFi history, or a dangerous precedent that one protocol should bail out another.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: KelpDAO's exploit exposed restaking as a systemic risk vector. When you stack protocol on top of protocol in pursuit of higher yield, every layer adds blast radius. Kelp's gap isn't just a number - it's a live audit of whether DeFi's composability dream can survive contact with a sophisticated attacker.
Aave stepping in with 25K ETH is generous. But should one DAO be responsible for another's security failure?
And if DeFi United sets a rescue precedent, who decides the next bailout - and who pays? Sound off below.
