Curve Founder Calls on DeFi Industry to Establish Unified Security Standards to Reduce Centralized Single Points of Failure
Michael Egorov (@newmichwill), founder of Curve Finance, posted that recent security incidents in the DeFi space—triggered by centralized failure points—have occurred frequently and severely damaged the industry’s reputation. Citing examples such as Aave users being unable to withdraw funds following the rsETH exploit and the LayerZero cross-chain bridge hack, he emphasized that problems must be prevented *before* they occur—not addressed only after damage is done. He called on the industry to jointly establish DeFi security standards, proposing that the Ethereum Foundation and Solana Foundation take the lead in collaborating with projects across ecosystems, auditing firms, and risk-assessment teams to develop principles and specifications for secure system design—and suggesting that lessons could be drawn from traditional finance’s approaches to safeguarding centralized nodes.
Curve Finance Suspends LayerZero Cross-Chain Bridging Functionality in Response to rsETH Infrastructure Hack
According to an official announcement from Curve Finance, due to a hacker attack on the rsETH LayerZero infrastructure, Curve Finance has suspended its LayerZero infrastructure for security reasons, pending further investigation into the root cause before resuming operations. This suspension affects the following: cross-chain bridging of CRV tokens from BNB Chain, Sonic, Avalanche, Fantom, Etherlink, and Kava (chains using native bridges remain unaffected), as well as the crvUSD fast bridge functionality (the L2 slow bridge remains fully operational). Meanwhile, KelpDAO is also reported to have suffered a vulnerability exploit involving approximately $291 million; the exact extent of losses is still under investigation.
Curve Finance Suspends LayerZero Infrastructure
According to an official announcement, Curve Finance has suspended its LayerZero infrastructure as a precautionary measure following a hacker attack on rsETH’s LayerZero infrastructure, pending further investigation into the root cause. This adjustment affects cross-chain CRV bridging initiated from chains including BNB, Sonic, Avalanche, Fantom, Etherlink, and Kava; bridging from other chains remains unaffected and continues to use native bridges. Additionally, the crvUSD fast bridge is impacted, while the slower bridge to L2s remains fully operational.
Curve Founder: KelpDAO Attack Led to Aave Bad Debt, Exposing Risks of Non-Isolated Lending
Michael Egorov, founder of Curve Finance, stated in a post that he hopes Aave will address the relevant issues. He noted that non-isolated lending offers strong scalability but carries higher risk—the key lies in risk management, an area where Aave has historically performed well. He added that markets could adopt a fully isolated model—like Curve Finance’s—or a hybrid model; although the latter is highly complex, it remains feasible. However, the market has yet to grasp its advantages. Egorov also remarked that Aave v4’s hub-and-spoke model may represent a step toward semi-isolation and greater safety.

Curve Founder Proposes Market-Based Model to Recover DeFi Bad Debt
Curve founder Michael Egorov has proposed a method to recover bad debt in lending protocols by converting impaired positions into tradable investment products. The pilot for this solution is Curve's own CRV-long LlamaLend market, which generated approximately $700,000 in bad debt in October 2025. Michael Egorov has established a Curve Stableswap pool with approximately 71% solvency, allowing trading of impaired vault tokens. Traders can buy at a discount, liquidity providers can earn fees, and the DAO can accumulate impaired tokens through management fees. The community’s feedback on this proposal has been mixed, with some users questioning whether impaired positions lacking immediate returns can attract buyers.
The Curve team proposed restoring the bad debt in the CRV-long LlamaLend market via a special liquidity pool.
The Curve Team has proposed a recovery plan for the bad debt in the CRV-long LlamaLend market. This market incurred approximately 70% collateralization and a funding shortfall of roughly $700,000 following the incident on October 10, 2025. The proposal outlines establishing a special Curve stableswap pool that enables redemption of treasury tokens, thereby introducing market-driven capital into the recovery process—without requiring permission or off-chain agreements. According to the proposal, if CRV’s price rises, the bad debt positions can be gradually recovered through decentralized liquidation and hard liquidation; if CRV’s price falls, the collateralization level of treasury deposits will not deteriorate further. michwill has also requested that Curve DAO approve a gauge for this pool and retain protocol fees received in the form of treasury tokens.
Quantum Computers Crack 15-bit ECC Keys; Bitcoin’s 256-bit Security Remains Unthreatened—But Migration Countdown Accelerates
According to CryptoSlate, Project Eleven awarded the Q-Day Prize to researcher Giancarlo Lelli on April 24 for successfully deriving a 15-bit elliptic curve private key from its public key using publicly accessible quantum hardware—the largest publicly demonstrated instance of its kind to date, representing a 512-fold improvement over the prior 6-bit demonstration in September 2025. Lelli employed a variant of Shor’s algorithm tailored to the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), the mathematical foundation of Bitcoin’s signature scheme; the award-winning hardware comprised approximately 70 qubits. Currently, no known quantum computer can break real Bitcoin wallets, and Bitcoin’s 256-bit elliptic curve security remains far beyond the capabilities of existing quantum systems. Notably, Google revised downward its resource estimates for ECDLP-256 on March 31 and set a post-2029 target for migration to quantum-resistant cryptography; Cloudflare promptly followed suit, and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) established migration milestones between 2028 and 2035. On-chain data indicates that roughly 6.93 million BTC are currently exposed to potential quantum risk due to publicly revealed public keys. The Bitcoin community has proposed BIP 360 and BIP 361 to facilitate migration toward quantum-resistant output types; however, coordination across the decentralized network remains the greatest challenge.
