Свежий взлом Kelp/Aave на $200 млн, или почему я не инвестирую в DeFi
В крипте популярна концепция «децентрализованных финансов» – это когда можно доходно вложить свои токены с помощью умных контрактов, без лишнего участия людей. Звучит круто, удобно и надежно – но, как обычно, есть нюанс. Иногда в дело вмешиваются айтишники из Северной Кореи: в минувшие выходные как раз произошел очередной «инцидент»…

[Agefi] - Un piratage massif fait craindre une contagion dans l’univers #crypto
Des pirates ont dérobé pour près de 300 millions de dollars de jetons émis par Kelp DAO. Ces jetons ont servi de collatéral pour emprunter et faire disparaître des cryptomonnaies sur le protocole de finance décentralisée #Aave. Celui-ci fait face à une ruée des détenteurs d’actifs numériques pour sortir leurs avoirs.

A $293M exploit is now testing DeFi’s resilience. Aave could face major bad debt depending on how losses are handled.

2/ so far the #KelpDAO / #Layer0 hack (tentatively attributed to #NorthKorea) has led to a quarter of all money being drained from #Aave and massive withdrawals across the entire #defi ecosystem.

another day, another $300 million #crypto hack (probably directly into #NorthKorea's nuclear weapons coffers). this time it's something called #KelpDAO.
There's a few interesting parts here:
1. KelpDAO operates through #Aave, the biggest / most important lender in "decentralized finance" (#defi) and the way the hack was pulled off managed to stick Aave with almost $300 million in bad debt (in the form of a bunch of fake #rsETH tokens, a "liquid staking token" for #ETH that i'm only going to explain if someone actually is interested and asks in the comments)
2. as a result there's a stampede to get money out of Aave. not quite a full run on the bank bc that's not really possible w/the way Aave works, but directionally similar
3. the founder of Aave mocked #DriftProtocol for being hacked for a similar amount two weeks ago as "not defi". this complicates the solution here, which is for Aave to step in and rewrite the decentralized protocol to socialize the losses onto users.

Aave DAO has approved a $25M stablecoin grant to Aave Labs — and Stani Kulechov is backing a new revenue model for sustainable DeFi growth.
With support from data by DefiLlama, this move could reshape DAO finance.
