Kelp DAO says that sETH mints, redemptions and rewards operations have been running smoothly since it opened withdrawals for the token earlier this month.

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

The Aave token fell nearly 20% to $89.5 in just over 24 hours as users withdrew billions of dollars from the lending protocol.

The contagion from the Kelp exploit could have been contained, but at the cost of capital efficiency, according to the founder of Curve Finance.

The attack caused a "cross-protocol contagion" that has impacted at least nine crypto protocols, blockchain security firm Cyvers said.
