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.

### Как «убийцы Ethereum» сами стали зависимыми

Нарратив «убить Ethereum» тянется с 2017-го: быстрее, дешевле, масштабируемее. На практике большинство проектов не выдержали конкуренции экосистем, ликвидности и стандартов.

Ключевые цифры и факты:

— Ethereum (ICO 2014): ~31 591 BTC (~$18,6 млн), цена ~$0,31 → к 2026 остаётся центром DeFi и стандартом EVM
— Neo: ~$5 млн → к 2024 перешёл на EVM (Neo X), фактически отказ от «альтернативного стека»
— Cardano: ~$62 млн → годы R&D, выжил, но не стал доминирующим, ниша: гос/идентификация/RWA
— Tezos: ~$242 млн → TVL ~$28 млн (2026), переход к роллапам и EVM (Etherlink)
— EOS / Vaulta: >$4 млрд → один из крупнейших провалов по ROI и экосистеме

Системный итог:

— EVM стал де-факто стандартом индустрии
— ликвидность и девелоперы важнее «чистой архитектуры»
— большинство «убийц» либо интегрировались с Ethereum, либо потеряли позиции

Коротко:
**не Ethereum убили — рынок заставил всех стать похожими на него** #crypto #DeFi #Ethereum #блокчейн
