The Kelp DAO exploit didn't stop at Kelp. It left Aave with $196M in bad debt and wiped $6B from its TVL — exposing how liquid restaking tokens can trigger cascading failures across DeFi's most critical lending markets.
Security

Funding
Nava raised $8.3M in seed funding led by Polychain and Archetype to build a blockchain verification layer for AI-powered financial agents — addressing $2.1B in unauthorized AI transactions in 2025.
DeFi
Kelp DAO lost $292M in 2026's biggest DeFi hack after an attacker manipulated LayerZero's cross-chain bridge. Aave, Lido, and Ethena all froze related markets within hours as contagion spread across 20+ chains.
