Kelp DAO eyes unpausing withdrawals after attackers’ rsETH on Arbitrum is burned

Kelp DAO has burned the exploiter’s tokens and outlined a two-week plan to refill rsETH through Aave’s Recovery Guardian multisig wallet.

Ethereum liquid restaking platform Kelp and decentralized lending protocol Aave have completed a series of steps to restore rsETH backing, including burning the exploiter’s rsETH tokens.
