Episode description

In less than 24 hours, DeFi was rocked by its largest hack of 2026: the Kelp DAO exploit. Using a fatal flaw in a LayerZero bridge, hackers siphoned $293 million in rsETH—then triggered a $10 billion ecosystem-wide bank run. Guy unpacks how a single validator setup put your crypto at risk and how blue-chip protocols like Aave and Compound were blindsided in minutes.If you use DeFi, you cannot afford to miss the hard truths revealed by this attack: why composability cuts both ways, which protocols are exposed, and how fast a bridge failure can nuke an entire market. Watch now to see the play-by-play, what failed, and what every smart user must know before the next big hack.~~~~~📜 Disclaimer 📜The information contained herein is for informational purposes only.
