TREE NEWS update: Ethereum restaking protocol Kelp said it imposed a 24-hour freeze on rsETH transfers to and from a specific address that showed suspicious activity hours after receiving the token. Kelp said its contracts are secure, rsETH remains fully collateralized, and minting, withdrawals and integrations continue normally with no user action required. The move follows a $7.73 million exploit of a user’s Safe multisig wallet on Ethereum.
Kelp Freezes rsETH Transfers for One Address After Suspicious Activity
Kelp's decision to freeze a single address rather than pause the token is a notable distinction: it targets suspicious flow while explicitly keeping minting, withdrawals and integrations live, which limits contagion to rsETH's utility. The link to a separate multisig exploit suggests the risk sits with wallet and key hygiene rather than the restaking contract itself — the recurring weak point in this sector. The open question is whether the freeze points to a wider pattern of targeted address compromises, or remains an isolated incident.
