Aave has liquidated the remaining rsETH position of the KelpDAO attacker, with the relevant assets to be transferred to a recovery treasury.
Aave has announced the completion of the liquidation of the remaining rsETH position belonging to the Kelp DAO attacker. The related collateral assets will be transferred to the Recovery Guardian multi-signature wallet managed by DeFi United, to be used for restoring rsETH reserves and compensating affected users.This liquidation is part of the recovery plan following the previous $292 million attack incident.

The relevant parameters will be restored upon completion of the liquidation. Previously, the attacker exploited the Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge based on LayerZero to forge 116,500 unbacked rsETH and borrowed ETH from protocols such as Aave and Compound. Currently, the recovery funds managed by DeFi United have exceeded $320 million.

It will restore rsETH support by batch-converting and injecting into the bridge lockup contract. Simultaneously, it proposes clearing affected positions on Aave and Compound through a governance proposal, recovering approximately 107,000 rsETH in related excess collateral, and gradually lifting the frozen status of the relevant assets.
