Polygon Says rsETH Vulnerability Did Not Impact Polygon Chain or Agglayer

According to Mantle, the KelpDAO rsETH incident did not affect Mantle Network, its official bridge, or core assets, while repayment and recovery efforts continue with partner protocols.

Fact Check
The claim is well supported by multiple independent secondary reports. PANews, which links directly to the original 0xPolygon X post, states that Polygon said Polygon Chain, Agglayer, Katana, and Vaultbridge were not affected by the rsETH incident and that more than $2 trillion has been securely transferred to date. Bitget News and Yahoo Finance both repeat substantially the same Polygon statement, including the unaffected systems and the over-$2-trillion figure. Confidence is medium rather than high because direct fetching of the original X post failed, so the primary statement could not be text-validated in this run, even though the upstream source URL was recovered via Odaily tracing and cited by PANews.
