Litecoin disclosed in a post on platform X that a recent zero-day vulnerability had caused a DoS attack, affecting the operation of major mining pools. Mining nodes that were not updated allowed an invalid MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Block) transaction to be executed, enabling the related tokens to be withdrawn to a third-party DEX.The Litecoin network rolled back these invalid transactions through a reorganization (reorg) of 13 blocks, confirming that they would not be included in the main chain. All valid transactions during this period were unaffected, and the vulnerability has been completely fixed, with network operations restored to normal.

ether.fi posted on platform X that weETH based on the LayerZero cross-chain bridge has now been restored on all chains, and liquidity minting and redemption functions have been enabled.In terms of security, the ether team has increased the number of DVNs (Decentralized Verification Networks) from 2 to 4 and implemented stricter rate limiting mechanisms to further enhance system security. Additionally, related services will gradually resume under the guidance of security partners, and more updates will be released in the future.

Helius CEO mert posted on platform X, stating that decentralization is essentially "coordination without a central authority." If the cost of coordination is close to zero, then it is effectively centralized; if the cost of coordination is infinitely high, then it technically cannot be called decentralized, as the system would not function properly.mert illustrated this point through a thought experiment: suppose there currently exists a highly decentralized blockchain with hundreds of thousands of nodes running from home, distributed mining power, and token supply. He then proposed another extreme hypothesis—if North Korea could transfer funds from wallet A to wallet B within time T, then this would be equivalent to that chain being able to simultaneously detonate nuclear weapons in most countries around the world.Finally, assuming that the blockchain could successfully freeze the funds in wallet A through a fork without causing mass casualties, would this blockchain still be considered decentralized? mert believes that although humanity can achieve coordination due to the shared incentive of "not dying," this does not mean that the chain is "unorganized." Decentralization is still fundamentally "coordination without a central authority."

ether.fi posted on platform X that, guided by security partners, it will restore the LayerZero bridging functionality for weETH and eETH within the next 24 hours.ether.fi previously confirmed that its Liquid treasury was not directly exposed to the Kelp rsETH event risk, but decided to suspend the LayerZero cross-chain bridging functionality for weETH and eETH as a precautionary measure until the root cause of the Kelp rsETH event is clarified. Meanwhile, for Liquid (ETH, BTC, USD), sETHFI, and eBTC products, the relevant Teller contracts have been suspended to block the LayerZero OFT bridging path, and the deposit and withdrawal functions for the related assets have also been suspended. They are currently working closely with security partners.

ChainCatcher reported live that Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Mysten Labs, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. He stated that the core team members come from Facebook and were responsible for launching the global payment network Libra, aiming to make fund transfers as simple as sending messages. He announced that Sui will be the first high-speed public blockchain to achieve zero transaction fees for transfers across the network, regardless of the transfer amount ranging from $0.0005 to $1 billion, covering all stablecoins such as USDC, USDT, and Sui Dollar.In terms of privacy, Sui will provide bank-grade on-chain privacy, utilizing advanced cryptography to ensure that transaction history and balances are not visible to third parties, while fully compliant with regulatory requirements. Regarding yields, he introduced the Sui Dollar launched in collaboration with Stripe, which generates approximately 3.5% returns that will be directly reinvested into the network ecosystem and users, rather than flowing to intermediaries.He also announced the launch of the Bitcoin DeFi protocol Hashi aimed at institutions, allowing sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, and ETF holders to deploy Bitcoin into DeFi for yields without triggering taxable events, supported by legal opinions from top U.S. law firm Fenwick & West. Additionally, Sui's on-chain deep order book DeepBook supports large transactions with extremely low slippage for instant on-chain exchanges between assets such as BTC, gold, USD, and EUR.In the AI agent economy, he pointed out that Stripe estimates a need for processing capacity of 1 billion transactions per second in the future, while Sui employs a horizontally scalable architecture similar to that of Google Search and Facebook infrastructure, capable of scaling on demand to millions or even tens of millions of TPS. The full-stack atomic composability provided by Sui is its core differentiated advantage, allowing agents to execute multiple cross-application transactions simultaneously and settle them in one go, which cannot be achieved on AWS, Google, or any existing Web3 platform. He also announced a partnership with RedotPay, enabling users to spend Sui Dollars at over 130 million merchants worldwide and positioning Sui as an alternative to SWIFT.

Kelp DAO officially stated in a post on X regarding the theft incident that the cause of the theft was the compromise of two RPC nodes hosted by LayerZero, while a third RPC node suffered a DDoS attack. This was an attack targeting LayerZero's infrastructure, and Kelp's own system was not involved in the construction or operation of that infrastructure.The 1/1 DVN configuration is the scheme recorded in LayerZero's documentation and is the default setting for all new OFT deployments. Kelp has been operating on LayerZero's infrastructure since January 2024 and has maintained open communication with the LayerZero team. During Kelp's expansion to Layer2, the DVN configuration issue was discussed, and at that time, the default configuration was explicitly confirmed to be appropriate. Kelp's current top priority is to safeguard user interests and prevent risks from spreading within the DeFi ecosystem. The team is collaborating with various parties within the ecosystem to analyze the impact, seek support, and explore all possible mitigation solutions.

According to CoinDesk, the liquidity re-staking protocol Kelp DAO has raised objections to LayerZero's investigation report regarding the previous $290 million rsETH bridge attack incident.Kelp DAO claims that the single-validator (1/1) configuration that led to this attack was not a choice made in disregard of recommendations, but rather the default setting in LayerZero's official guidelines, and the validator network (DVN) exploited by the attacker is part of LayerZero's own infrastructure.The attack resulted in the theft of 116,500 rsETH, worth approximately $290 million. Security researchers pointed out that LayerZero's publicly deployed code defaults to a single-source validation configuration across networks such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.LayerZero subsequently responded that it will stop signing messages for any applications using a single-validator setup and will enforce a security migration.

LayerZero Labs released an incident report stating that KelpDAO suffered an attack resulting in a loss of approximately $290 million. Preliminary assessments indicate that the attacker is the Lazarus Group, which has ties to North Korea (more specifically, TraderTraitor). The attack was executed by poisoning the downstream RPC infrastructure relied upon by its decentralized verification network (DVN). The attacker controlled some RPC nodes and, in conjunction with a DDoS attack, induced the system to switch to malicious nodes, thereby forging cross-chain transactions.All affected RPC nodes have been taken offline and replaced, and the DVN has now resumed operation. LayerZero emphasized that this incident was limited to the rsETH application configuration of KelpDAO and did not affect other assets or applications. The reason is that KelpDAO was using a single DVN (1/1) architecture at the time and did not utilize the multi-DVN redundancy mechanism that is officially recommended for long-term use, resulting in a lack of independent verification nodes to identify forged messages.LayerZero pointed out that there were no vulnerabilities in its protocol itself, and applications with multi-DVN configurations were not affected, meaning there is no contagious risk in the system. LayerZero stated that it will urge all projects using single DVN configurations to migrate to multi-DVN architectures as soon as possible and has suspended providing signature and verification services for 1/1 configuration applications. Meanwhile, the company is cooperating with global law enforcement agencies to investigate and assist industry partners in tracking the stolen funds. LayerZero noted that this incident highlights the value of modular security architecture and also reminds the industry to pay attention to the potential security risks of RPC verification links.

According to Ember Monitoring, LayerZero's "strategic partner" wallet distributed ZRO unlocks to 52 addresses half an hour ago, with a total of 1.21 million ZRO (approximately 1.97 million USD) distributed, of which the largest transaction was 855,000 ZRO (approximately 1.42 million USD) transferred to Binance.LayerZero, as the cross-chain bridge exploited by hackers in yesterday's rsETH vulnerability incident, saw its token ZRO drop by 18% yesterday.

Binance Co-CEO He Yi responded to community questions at the BNB Chain event in Hong Kong, stating that when trading memecoins on BSC, one should not "nitpick" (picking apart He Yi or Big Brother's Twitter content) and deceive oneself.He Yi mentioned that she is not a narcissistic person and does not tweet every day to create hype. Some coins discussed at the Binance Alpha event are popular not because she tweeted about them, but because they have inherent popularity, which creates a false cycle.She emphasized that BNB Chain is a public chain, and just as one does not question the Ethereum Foundation about the quality of projects on Ethereum, everyone trading memecoins on BSC should have the correct understanding. Binance's mission is to protect users, but that does not mean that every investment on the BNB Chain will necessarily be profitable."99.9% of memecoins will go to zero," He Yi stated, noting that most projects will fail, and investors must be clear about what they are doing and not be misled by others. One cannot assume that any memecoin "picked out" by He Yi will definitely be listed on Binance; otherwise, it would contradict the reputation of "protecting users," and this understanding is misguided.

Curve Finance announced on platform X that due to the LayerZero infrastructure being attacked in the rsETH hacking incident, it has decided to suspend Curve's LayerZero infrastructure as a precautionary measure until further understanding of the root cause of the incident. This action will affect:CRV bridging from the following chains: BNB, Sonic, Avalanche, Fantom, Etherlink, Kava (other chains will still use native bridging);The fast bridging of crvUSD (slow bridging on L2 will still be available for normal use).

etherFi posted on platform X that its Liquid treasury is temporarily not directly exposed to the Kelp rsETH event risk, but as a precautionary measure, it has suspended the LayerZero cross-chain bridging functionality for weETH and eETH until the root cause of the Kelp rs ETH event is clarified. Meanwhile, for Liquid (ETH, BTC, USD), sETHFI, and eBTC products, the relevant Teller contracts have been suspended to block the LayerZero OFT bridging path, and the deposit and withdrawal functions for the related assets have also been suspended. They are currently working closely with security partners and will provide timely updates once more details are confirmed.

LayerZero posted on platform X that it is aware of the rsETH vulnerability incident and has been actively working with the KelpDAO team on handling and remediation since the incident occurred, while continuing to monitor the situation.LayerZero stated that, aside from the rsETH-related incident, other applications remain secure. Regarding the root cause of the incident, LayerZero is collaborating with SEAL_Org and others to investigate and has indicated that it will release a complete post-incident analysis report in conjunction with KelpDAO once all information is gathered.
