Ethena officially announced that the LayerZero cross-chain bridge functionality for sUSDe and USDe has been relaunched on all chains. To enhance security, Ethena has upgraded the decentralized verification network (DVN) configuration on each chain from 2/2 to 4/4, while maintaining the existing rate limit of $10 million per hour. The official statement indicated that further updates will be provided as necessary.

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.

ChainCatcher reported live that Tang Bo, Assistant Dean of the Financial Research Institute at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Fei Si, Partner at King & Wood Mallesons, Diao Zhi Hai, Head of International Wealth Management at China International Capital Corporation, and Gavin Wang, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of SNZ Holding & SNZ Capital, jointly attended the HK Web3 Feastival roundtable discussion, sharing insights on "from asset registration" to "on-chain issuance," bridging the last mile of RWA cross-border compliance.Fei Si pointed out that the so-called "from asset registration to on-chain issuance" essentially establishes a replicable, sustainable, and legally compliant channel for "domestic assets, overseas issuance." He believes that the most critical aspect at this stage is to first establish a solid transaction structure and top-level product design, clarifying whether the product is classified as equity or debt, as this will directly determine the corresponding regulatory authorities, communication methods, and subsequent legal document arrangements.Diao Zhi Hai approached the issue from the practical perspective of traditional financial institutions, stating that the biggest challenge currently is not a single isolated pain point, but how to systematically connect multiple compliance nodes to form a truly implementable closed-loop mechanism. He indicated that RWA cross-border projects involve not only financial regulation but also data cross-border, cybersecurity, foreign exchange management, and other departmental collaborations. Therefore, it is essential to examine whether the underlying assets can be clearly defined and mapped on-chain, who qualifies as the issuer and controlling entity, and whether the non-financial regulatory requirements throughout the process have been incorporated into the plan.Gavin Wang entered the discussion from the investment and market demand perspective, emphasizing that the global trend of asset tokenization is certain, and that high-quality Chinese assets are still significantly undervalued overseas. This means that as long as the cross-border compliance path is opened, market demand genuinely exists. He believes that investment institutions are most concerned with whether the entire project has clear compliance boundaries and marketability: red lines cannot be crossed, and gray areas must be approached with caution. What is truly worth investing in are those asset types with clearer regulatory expectations that investors can more easily understand and accept. In the long term, he is optimistic about two types of Chinese cross-border RWA targets: one type is large, high-quality Chinese assets that are easily understood by overseas investors, and the other type includes high-end manufacturing, robotics, AI, and pharmaceutical pipelines that are still undervalued overseas but possess global competitiveness.

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.

Polymarket's latest data shows that the current probability of the market betting on "Will Kelp DAO share this loss?" is 25%.This market was established around the April 19 incident where the Kelp DAO bridge was attacked. The attacker exploited a LayerZero cross-chain messaging vulnerability, withdrawing approximately $292 million in rsETH from the bridge, causing damage to the collateral backing for rsETH holders on the L2 network.According to Polymarket's market rules, if Kelp DAO announces or implements a mechanism before April 30 to share part or all of the losses with mainnet rsETH holders (rather than having all losses borne by L2 holders), the market will be determined as "Yes"; otherwise, it will be "No".

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.

The USDT0 cross-chain bridging infrastructure has resumed normal operations today, with system integrity and risk exposure unaffected. All in-transit transactions submitted before the suspension have been safely settled.Previously, USDT0 suspended OFT bridging services as a precautionary measure pending the investigation of the KelpDAO rsETH incident, emphasizing that USDT0 has no risk exposure related to this incident, and all USDT0 tokens remain fully backed 1:1 by USDT.

Ethena stated that it has not yet received a satisfactory root cause analysis of the rsETH incident and will extend the temporary suspension period of the OFT bridge. While this may be frustrating, it is a prudent measure to ensure the safe cross-chain transfer of user assets.Ethena has released a new proof of reserves, verified by independent third-party verification agencies (Chainlink, Chaos Labs, LlamaRisk, and Harris & Trotter), confirming that the collateral support ratio for USDe remains above 100%.

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.

Morpho stated: "Shortly after the KelpDAO and LayerZero incidents, Morpho has, as a precaution, suspended the OFT cross-chain bridge for MORPHO tokens on Arbitrum. The cross-chain functionality on Arbitrum will remain suspended until the root cause of the rsETH incident is identified."

Sky (formerly MakerDAO) posted on the X platform stating that it has currently suspended the omnichain fungible token (Omnichain Fungible Token) cross-chain bridging function for USDS. It will further assess the impact of the rsETH-related security incident while emphasizing that its protocol itself and the USDS contract have not been affected temporarily. USDS remains fully collateralized as designed by the protocol and can be verified on-chain at any time.

Euler Labs announced on the X platform that as a precaution, the LayerZero OFT cross-chain bridge for EUL is temporarily suspended during the investigation into the cause of the rsETH incident, and emphasized that EUL has no exposure to this rsETH incident. An update will be released after the cross-chain functionality is restored.

In response to the recent Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge attack, Ondo Finance stated on the X platform that Ondo Bridge is currently operating safely, with no financial losses or abnormal events.Ondo Bridge is also built on LayerZero and employs a customized security architecture consisting of four independent decentralized verification networks (DVN), namely FCAT, LayerZero Labs, Canary, and Ondo's self-developed verifier. Even if a single DVN encounters issues, the security of the transfers can still be guaranteed.

On-chain data shows that the Kelp DAO's rsETH bridging protocol based on LayerZero has allegedly been exploited by hackers, resulting in a loss of 116,500 rsETH, worth approximately $292 million.Kelp DAO officials stated that they have detected suspicious cross-chain activities involving rsETH, and have now suspended the rsETH contracts on the mainnet and multiple Layer2s. They are working with security experts and will provide updates on the situation.

Circle announced on the X platform that the USDC Bridge service has officially launched. It is reported that this is a way to directly transfer USDC across chains, built and operated by Circle, supporting native burn-to-mint transfers, without the need to select a route, and automatically handling gas fees on the target chain.

The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 78 business partners of Anchorage, including over 30 DeFi protocols, more than 20 blockchain infrastructure projects, as well as various stablecoins and payment settlement networks, covering the complete path from asset issuance to on-chain operations.Represented by institutions like BlackRock, products such as ETFs bring funds into the crypto market, after which Anchorage assumes custody and compliance responsibilities. These assets are then deployed on-chain, participating in liquidity operations and yield generation through DeFi protocols, stablecoin systems, and infrastructure networks. Ultimately, they flow back into the traditional financial system through OTC, trading, and clearing paths.In this process, Anchorage's role is not just "custody," but a key node throughout the entire lifecycle of funds, with its upstream and downstream including crypto-native institutions such as A16z, Blockchain Capital, Electric Capital, and Defiance, as well as DeFi protocols, L1/L2 networks, stablecoins, and clearing and settlement systems, along with fintech companies like AngelList and Series Financial, as well as payment companies and core banking systems.Anchorage's partner strategy emphasizes "key path coverage," ensuring that funds have corresponding infrastructure at every stage. As compliant entry points like ETFs gradually open up, the crypto market shifts towards asset allocation-driven strategies, and bridge-type institutions like Anchorage are moving from the background to the core. Related compilation: Anchorage Web3 Partner Network Compilation (continuously updated)Crypto projects actively showcasing their partner networks have become a key way to enhance transparency and market trust. It is reported that RootData welcomes Web3 project parties to claim data and continues to track and open more project business relationship disclosure channels.

According to Hyperbridge's official disclosure, the loss from the Token Gateway vulnerability incident has been revised from an initial estimate of $237,000 to approximately $2.5 million, with the increase mainly coming from losses in incentive pools on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum.The attacker extracted about 245 ETH from the relevant contracts and then bypassed the MMR proof verification mechanism by forging cross-chain messages, minting 1 billion bridged DOT and selling them into a thinly traded market. Currently, some of the stolen funds have been traced on-chain to Binance, and Hyperbridge is collaborating with Binance's compliance team and law enforcement agencies for an investigation.Native DOT of Polkadot and products like Intent Gateway are unaffected, while the Token Gateway and the bridged DOT contracts on the four affected EVM chains remain suspended. The MMR verification logic patch is undergoing external audit, and the bridging functionality will be restored after the audit is completed.

According to official news, the BTTC Bridge transaction record page has completed its functional upgrade and is officially online, aiming to provide cross-chain users with a more efficient and transparent asset tracking experience. This update introduces a dual-view independent display mode for "All Records" and "In Progress," and launches a multi-dimensional filtering tool that supports flexible combination retrieval by transaction status, type, and custom date range. At the same time, the page has strengthened the exclusive identification marks for incoming, outgoing, and cross-chain activities, helping users quickly locate the flow of funds. Users can now access the platform to experience a clearer cross-chain transaction management view, and the team will continue to refine product details to serve a broader range of on-chain interaction scenarios.
