🥷 Sonic Research states that most PoS blockchains rely on elliptic-curve signatures and aggregation schemes that are vulnerable to quantum attacks. These systems are difficult to replace without significant protocol changes and performance trade-offs. In contrast, SonicCS relies only on per-event signatures and hash functions, allowing it to transition to post-quantum security by replacing its signature scheme without altering its core consensus design. link

🕵️ LlamaRisk, an Aave DAO Risk Service Provider, released its rsETH Incident Report, quantifying the potential bad debt impact on Aave under two scenarios:
1. Uniform loss socialization across all rsETH
~15.12% haircut, resulting in approximately $123.7 million in bad debt.
2. Losses isolated to L2 rsETH
~73.54% haircut, resulting in approximately $230.1 million in bad debt, primarily impacting Mantle, Arbitrum, and Base.
The report also notes that WETH reserves across chains are at 100% utilization with under $20 of idle liquidity, limiting liquidation capacity and potentially amplifying risk. It recommends pausing the WETH Umbrella module, with bad debt to be addressed jointly by the Aave DAO treasury and ecosystem participants. link

🥷 Kelp Attributes rsETH Incident to LayerZero Infrastructure Breach
Kelp stated that the April 18 rsETH incident stemmed from a compromise of two LayerZero RPC nodes and a DDoS attack on a third. This enabled the attacker to drain assets from the bridge adapter via a forged cross-chain message. Kelp emphasized that its own systems were not involved in the affected infrastructure and is working with Aave, LayerZero, and other stakeholders to assess the impact, develop mitigation measures, and determine next steps for protocol recovery. #hack link

🇭🇰📊 #ETH #BTC Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum Must Withstand the Day All Core Developers Leave
Speaking at the 4th Hong Kong Web3 Festival on April 20, 2026, Vitalik Buterin emphasized that Ethereum aims to be a secure, decentralized, and reliable network rather than the fastest chain. He highlighted advancements in formal verification through AI and the pursuit of quantum resistance to support long-term digital assets. Ultimately, Ethereum seeks to pass the "walkaway test," ensuring stable network functionality without the ongoing involvement of core developers. link link
