According to the source, Chainlink became an unlikely $3 billion winner following the KelpDAO exploit, while DeFi (decentralized finance, blockchain-based financial services) projects moved away from LayerZero. The post indicates a market rotation in which one crypto infrastructure provider benefited as another ecosystem faced pressure after a security incident. No further figures, dates, or operational details are provided in the source beyond the claim that Chainlink gained and DeFi projects dumped LayerZero.
