In April 2026, the DeFi field encountered unprecedented challenges. A design flaw in the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge system led to a capital vulnerability of up to US$292 million and triggered a collapse in the total asset value of the Aave platform of approximately US$10 billion. This video will take you through an in-depth review of this crisis. How did the attacker use "unsecured tokens" to perform lending operations on Aave? Faced with the sudden wave of runs, how did the "DeFi United" plan launched by Aave unite with Lido, EtherFi and other protocols to overcome the difficulties? More importantly, we invited the Delta technical team to analyze it from a professional security perspective: The sorrow of cross-chain bridges: Why do cross-chain bridges become a breakthrough for attackers? Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: Why are auditing and multiple security mechanisms crucial in DeFi protocols? The future of risk management: How can the industry establish a more stringent security framework while innovating? If you are concerned about DeFi security, smart contract auditing or cross-chain technology, this video is definitely not to be missed! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Video Timeline/Key Chapters] 00:00 Crisis breaks out: KelpDAO's $292 million gap begins and ends 02:15 Attack review: Cross-chain bridge vulnerability and unsecured token lending 04:30 Industry self-rescue: Aave "DeFi United" plan and partner actions 06:45 Delta recommends: Strengthening smart contract auditing and cross-chain verification 09:10 Looking forward to the future: DeFi How does the protocol establish long-term anti-risk capabilities----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Tag] #DeFisecurity #KelpDAO vulnerability #Aave #DeFiUnited #SMART CONTRACT AUDIT #DELTEK TECHNOLOGY #CROSS-chain BRIDGE SECURITY #BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY #Decentralized Finance
