DeFi United Unveils Two-Step Plan to Restore KelpDAO rsETH Collateral Support

The proposal aims to recover rsETH to 1.07 ETH by adding ETH to a bridge lock contract and using governance to temporarily change oracle pricing, triggering liquidation of an attacker’s positions on Aave and Compound.

Summary

DeFi United announced a two-step recovery plan focused on restoring collateral support for KelpDAO rsETH and bringing the token’s exchange rate back to 1.07 ETH. According to the provided information, the plan would first inject ETH into the bridge lock contract, a move intended to strengthen backing conditions for rsETH. It would then temporarily adjust oracle pricing (external price feed mechanism) through governance to force liquidation of an attacker’s roughly 107,000 rsETH positions on Aave and Compound, two major decentralized lending protocols. The measures are designed to stabilize the affected restaking-linked asset and re-enable its use as collateral in decentralized finance markets.

Terms & Concepts
  • Oracle pricing: Blockchain price data supplied by external feeds, often used by lending protocols to value collateral and trigger liquidations.
  • Collateral support: The acceptance of a crypto asset as pledged backing for loans or other positions in decentralized finance platforms.
  • Liquidation: The forced closing of a borrower’s position when collateral value or protocol conditions no longer meet required thresholds.
