The first set of steps in the rsETH technical recovery plan are complete, including burning the exploiter's rsETH on Arbitrum. Progressively refilling the LayerZero OFT adapter and reopening rsETH operations will follow over the coming days.

Kelp and Aave have successfully completed a series of steps for rsETH backing, including burning the exploiter’s rsETH on Arbitrum. 117,132 rsETH will be progressively refilled from Aave Recovery Guardian and Kelp Recovery Safe into the LayerZero OFT adapter on mainnet over the next two weeks. rsETH on Mainnet and L2s remains fully backed at all times. Kelp will unpause withdrawals, tentatively within 24 hours, after the first tranche to the LayerZero OFT adapter. All rsETH operations - deposits, redemptions, bridging, and claims - will resume as usual after contracts are unpaused. Last week, we completed a security hardening pass across all LayerZero bridging configurations: verification now requires 4 independent attestors, block confirmations have been raised from 42 to 64, and all L2-to-L2 routes have been deprecated. These changes have been audited by BailSec. We are in the process of migrating to CCIP for further strengthened cross-chain bridging. Thanks to the @aave team and our DeFi United partners for being the cornerstone of this recovery.

Update on Arbitrum DAO proposal: On May 1, plaintiff-judgment creditors in an unrelated matter served a restraining notice on Arbitrum DAO targeting the ETH immobilized after the rsETH incident. A few days later, Aave LLC filed an emergency motion to vacate. On May 8, the court modified the restraining notice to permit an onchain Arbitrum vote and transfer of the immobilized ETH to Aave LLC. The restraining notice attaches to Aave LLC upon transfer. The amended Constitutional AIP preserves the recovery intent approved by Arbitrum DAO, and the ETH remains directed toward the rsETH recovery. Aave LLC will comply with all court obligations as proceedings continue. forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/constitution…





In line with the technical plan outlined below, the attacker's rsETH positions on Aave have been liquidated on Ethereum and Arbitrum. The liquidated collateral now sits with the Recovery Guardian as specified in the AIP. No other users were affected, and Umbrella was also untouched. This was a critical step in the recovery roadmap, with next steps to follow.

Aave V4's security-first growth strategy continues, with supply and borrow caps raised across several assets to accommodate deposit inflows.

Aave LLC has filed an emergency motion to vacate a restraining notice served on Arbitrum DAO on May 1, 2026 that attempts to seize approximately $71 million in ETH belonging to victims of the April 18 exploit. A thief does not gain lawful ownership of stolen property simply by taking it, and the law is clear on this. Those assets were recovered to be returned to users victimized in the April 18, 2026 exploit. Freezing them harms the very people this recovery effort is designed to protect. We’ve asked the court for an expedited hearing and a temporary vacatur, and we are continuing to work alongside the Arbitrum community and DeFi United to make affected users whole.
