KelpDAO exploit submerges Aave

In this episode

In this episode of Galaxy Grid, the hosts unpack the massive $292 million rsETH hack tied to the LayerZero bridge and North Korean actors, which severely disrupted DeFi lending protocols like Aave. The crew then pivots to discuss X's (formerly Twitter) new "smart cashtags" feature that integrates live price charts and trading capabilities directly into the timeline. Later, Alex shares on-the-ground insights from his recent trip to Washington, D.C., assessing the 50/50 odds of the Clarity Act passing this year in the shadow of recent crypto exploits. Finally, the team debates Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 361 (BIP-361), a controversial roadmap for handling quantum-vulnerable legacy wallets, including Satoshi Nakamoto's original coins.
