OneKey founder Yishi laid out a 5-tier playbook for the $292M KelpDAO exploit: negotiate a 10-15% hacker bounty first, then tap LayerZero's ecosystem fund, then have KelpDAO pay in tokens/revenue or sell to L0 or BMNR, with Aave's Umbrella and stkAAVE as the final backstop. His hard line: WETH depositors cannot be cut or it triggers cascading repricing across Morpho, Spark, Fluid, and Euler — which would blacklist the LRT sector and set DeFi back by years. He thinks Aave survives.
