Community Raises Over 100,000 ETH for Aave Recovery
The initiative DeFi United, aimed at aiding the ecosystem's recovery following the attack on Kelp, has raised over 100,000 ETH (~$230 million). This amount nearly covers the damage caused by the hack, which was approximately $290 million. Source: defiunited.world. The largest donors were Mantle (30,000 ETH) and Aave DAO (25,000 ETH). Additionally, ~30,700 ETH was recovered through the freezing of stolen funds in Arbitrum. Aave founder Stani Kulechov personally donated 5,000 ETH. Ether.fi and Lido Finance contributed 5,000 ETH and 2,500 ETH, respectively. Some assets were received as community donations. As part of protective measures, Aave and its partners have established a specialized fund to restore the backing of the affected rsETH token. At the time of writing, a vote is underway regarding the structure's next steps. Aave service providers and ecosystem partners have established a recovery fund that factors in pending DAO votes, including the Arbitrum governance vote, indicative agreements, and successful execution to restore rsETH’s full backing.We are DeFi United, and resolving this for…— Aave (@aave) April 25, 2026 Meanwhile, Kelp has created a separate fund to compensate those affected. Users meeting the established criteria can request funds within 24 hours through a special form. Aave Metrics As of April 26, the decline in the TVL of the Aave protocol has stabilized. The figure settled around $14 billion, showing a slight recovery. Source: DefiLlama. Nevertheless, since the attack, the volume of deposits on the platform has decreased by more than $12 billion. Analysts at aixbt labs noted that during the crisis week, the Aave protocol generated an average of $1.7 million in daily fees—63% of Ethereum's revenue. “100% utilization of the [rsETH] pool means maximum borrowing rates, and therefore, maximum protocol income. It literally earns more money when under attack,” the publication states. Andrew Moss of Jefferies believes that the recent wave of DeFi hacks has cast doubt on Wall Street's investment plans.

Litecoin Undergoes Block Reorganization Due to Zero-Day Vulnerability
On April 25, the Litecoin network experienced a significant block reorganization after attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability. Litecoin update:• A zero-day bug caused a DoS attack that disrupted major mining pools.• Non-updated mining nodes allowed an invalid MWEB transaction allowing them to peg out coins to third party DEX’s• A 13-block reorg reversed those invalid transactions — they will not…— Litecoin (@litecoin) April 25, 2026 According to the incident report, the bug enabled unknown parties to conduct a DoS attack, disrupting major mining pools. This allowed nodes running outdated software to validate invalid transactions within the MimbleWimble Extension Block privacy layer. Through these manipulations, the perpetrator could interact with invalid coins and send them to third-party DEX platforms. In response to the attack, developers carried out a 13-block reorganization, reversing the false transactions and excluding them from the new chain. “All valid operations during this period remain unchanged. The bug has been fully fixed, and the network continues to operate normally,” stated Litecoin representatives. Alex Shevchenko, CEO of Aurora Labs, described the incident as a “coordinated attack.” According to his observations, the reorganization affected blocks from #3,095,930 to #3,095,943 and took over three hours, during which attackers executed double-spending attacks against several cross-chain protocols. The incident had little impact on the LTC price. At the time of writing, the coin is trading around $56, having fallen by 0.5% over the day. 15-minute LTC/USDT chart on Binance. Source: TradingView. Back in September 2025, Monero experienced its largest blockchain reorganization in 12 years. The network was rolled back by 18 blocks, rendering 117 transactions invalid.
