rsETH Incident Report (April 20, 2026)

The canonical supply for rsETH is staked ETH on mainnet, they do not mint off L2 eth, L0 OFT does not have any “supply” :roll_eyes:

Just for the transparency: I have appealed here on the forum to also compensate victims of the Harmony One bridge exploit from the past but I guess the post was deleted because we don’t count as people who lost money…

No because you didn’t follow the guidelines and got a DM from me. Guess you ignored it.

You could try a temp check. Give some more specific ideas.

Don’t worry - DeFi United starts this year, doesn’t include people who lost money in the past. We are not important.

Cry somewhere else dude

DeFi United :two_hearts::family_woman_woman_boy_boy: Thank you for your support and friendship.

Greetings Aave community,

An AIP to implement the Technical Plan as a part of the DeFi United joint recovery effort has been raised. This AIP will liquidate the attacker’s position without exposing any Umbrella Stakers to slashing.

Voting will begin in 24 hours. You may vote here.

Thank you to LlamaRisk and the co-authors for the depth of this report. One detail that stood out: the asymmetry between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 is well captured at the rsETH-holder level, but the report’s brief mention of “users without rsETH exposure” affected by 100% utilisation freezes deserves more analysis. Specifically, the WETH supplier cohort on Arbitrum (and other affected L2s) is bearing operational costs (locked liquidity, collapsed yields per CryptoQuant’s 29 April data) that are not addressed by either scenario’s bad-debt allocation. Would the team consider an addendum modelling the post-thaw outflow risk for these cohorts? It feels like a relevant gap given the size of the recovery effort and the precedent it sets.

The AIP to liquidate the hacker was canceled could you say why?

DAO process is extremely slow and can literally kill retail

It was recreated here : Aave - Open Source Liquidity Protocol

In lieu of the Arbitrum DAO v SDNY, how will this affect the DeFi United funding and the planned thawing of Aave?

So much as happened in April that my head is spinning for the month of May :face_with_spiral_eyes: :face_with_spiral_eyes:

What is the status of BASE ETH? Any timeline for release of frozen supplied ETH on BASE?
I had no exposure to rsETH, but I seem to understand that that affects my BASE eth somehow…My positions are starting to get risky, and I am also missing some opportunities.
At least then reduce the interest on the borrowing side, or allow swaps to smaller interest assets.

I feel you and we’re all in the same boat. There is a proposal with payload to liquidate the hacker positions which will execute shortly and after we will get some updates.

At the we have to bear the pain.

Because Base is an L2, anything L2 related is pretty much socialized with the other L2s. This is pretty much where a majority of the headache is stemming from.
