KelpDAO Sues LayerZero Over $292M rsETH Exploit

The core issue is not the loss itself but the endorsement claim: KelpDAO is arguing it relied on LayerZero's written sign-off on a bridge configuration, which turns a technical failure into a question of who owned the risk. That matters well beyond these two parties, because cross-chain restaking arrangements often rest on exactly this kind of informal assurance rather than contractual allocation of liability. Whether the written endorsement is treated as a binding commitment or a technical opinion is the open question, and how courts frame that distinction could shape how bridge dependencies are documented across the sector.
