DUBAI, UAE, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mantle, the premier distribution layer connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity, today has reaffirmed the full security of its network and core infrastructure while actively coordinating with Aave and affected protocols on a structured recovery plan, including potential participation from the Mantle treasury to support ecosystem stability following the recent rsETH configuration incident involving KelpDAO.
The Mantle chain, official bridges, and core assets remain fully secure and unaffected. According to LayerZero’s recent official statement on KelpDAO incident, the vulnerability was isolated to KelpDAO’s rsETH configuration and did not impact any other assets, applications, or Mantle’s underlying infrastructure. The attacker did not interact with Mantle contracts or markets at any point.Localized liquidity pressure observed in parts of the ecosystem reflects secondary effects from the third-party incident rather than any issue with Mantle itself. Protective measures introduced earlier remain in place and will be lifted in coordination with ecosystem partners once conditions stabilize.Coordinated Recovery Across the EcosystemMantle is in active coordination and communication with Aave and affected protocols to align on recovery efforts and restore normal market conditions.These efforts include:Coordinating recovery mechanisms across impacted protocolsSupporting liquidity normalization across the ecosystemEvaluating targeted treasury participation to reinforce stabilityMantle stated that recovery will be executed in close collaboration with ecosystem partners to ensure alignment and long-term resilience.Ecosystem Stability and Capital ReturnOnchain data indicates continued resilience within the Mantle ecosystem.Over the past 48 hours, approximately $204 million in core USD-denominated assets have been repaid, signaling steady normalization of liquidity conditions.
