Lido has released the latest developments regarding the Kelp security incident, stating that its Earn series vaults are working with the management to address the issues, which involve two major risk points: the rsETH exposure and the liquidity tension in the lending market. Lido emphasizes that the core staking protocol has not been affected, and both stETH and wstETH remain safe and stable.

Currently, only the EarnETH vault has an approximately 9% TVL exposure to rsETH, and related deposits and withdrawals have been suspended by the management, awaiting a solution. Approximately $70 million in ETH has been recovered from the previous attack, and the subsequent asset recovery and loss distribution are still in progress. In response to liquidity pressure, the management has reduced leverage and optimized the position structure, significantly decreasing the wETH debt exposure. If losses ultimately occur, EarnETH will activate a $3 million "first loss protection mechanism" (funded by the DAO). As for other vaults, DVV and EarnUSD have not been affected and are operating normally; the GGV sub-vault is currently experiencing negative returns due to the combination of circular staking strategies and rising lending rates, but adjustments are ongoing. Withdrawal requests submitted by users will be processed based on valuations prior to the incident.
