After April’s record $600M hack month, Aave led a $300M relief coalition to restore Kelp DAO’s wrapped ETH backing. Avalanche, Consensys, Etherfi, Tron, Lido, Solana Foundation, and others all contributed. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Vy Le, and Jessi Brooks debate whether this is a beautiful moment of solidarity or a troubling precedent: DeFi organizing to decide which hacks are worth compensating, and which protocols survive.

This clip is from a longer conversation on DeFi’s liability exposure, April’s hack crisis, and the Clarity Act. Full episode here: https://youtube.com/live/UVXNUpuoQOA
