It claims that the company failed to disclose the risks associated with its technology and did not prevent attackers from compromising its infrastructure. At the same time, LayerZero had reviewed and approved the system’s reliability in writing. LayerZero said the hack was made possible because Kelp relied on a single LayerZero decentralized verifier network (DVN). This made transactions cheaper, but created risks. LayerZero had recommended using multiple DVNs. After that, it stopped approving security systems with only one verifier. The court ruling should help determine whether the damage was caused by a compromise of LayerZero’s infrastructure, the configuration of KelpDAO’s bridge, or both. The fallout from the Kelp hack was covered by the crypto industry through the creation of special relief funds. In the aftermath, Aave changed its risk structure in DeFi, and crypto companies such as BitGo began moving from LayerZero to Chainlink.
