Dune maps DVN security across 2,665 LayerZero OApps post‑KelpDAO hack, revealing nearly half still run a risky 1‑of‑1 configuration despite growing calls for stronger multi‑verifier setups.

Nearly 1,300 OApps still on 1-of-1 DVN post-KelpDAO means most integrators treat LayerZero defaults as Good Enough until TVL crosses someone's break-even exploit cost. Configurable security only works if teams configure it — and multi-DVN setups burn extra gas per message, so adoption stays tied to whatever the last hack was. Protocol-level minimums would fix this overnight, but that breaks LayerZero's pitch of meeting integrators where they are.
