Kelp DAO vs. LayerZero: Inside the $292 Million Blame Game Shaking DeFi Bridges

Solana Feels the Shockwave: Lending Markets Strain Under DeFi Liquidity Crunch

Aave in Crisis: Billions Locked as Liquidity Vanishes Across DeFi’s Core Markets
It wasn’t supposed to happen here.

It didn’t look like a black swan. It looked like inevitability. The $290 million drain of rsETH in early 2026 is now being dissected not as a clever exploit, but as the logical conclusion of a design philosophy that prioritized flexibility over enforced security. At the center of it sits LayerZero—a
