The KelpDAO exploit was not just another hack - it triggered a full DeFi contagion event. In this video, I break down what happened with the KelpDAO exploit, how roughly $293 million was stolen, and why the fallout spread far beyond one protocol. The real damage came from the knock-on effects across DeFi as liquidity rushed out, users de-risked, and major lending markets felt the pressure. I cover: - what KelpDAO is and how the exploit happened - how LayerZero’s DVN setup became a major point of failure - why a 1/1 verifier model created serious security risk - how the fallout spread across DeFi protocols like Aave - why bridge and wrapped asset risk can spiral into wider market panic - how leveraged looping strategies increase systemic fragility - why native staking design matters for long term security This is one of the clearest examples of how stacked DeFi risk can unravel very quickly when one layer breaks. If you are involved in DeFi, liquid staking, restaking, bridge protocols, or lending markets, this is worth understanding.
