Arbitrum DAO Votes on Frozen ETH Release for rsETH Recovery
The Arbitrum DAO is now voting on whether to release ETH frozen by its Security Council following the April 18 rsETH bridge exploit. The funds would go to **DeFi United**, a cross-protocol recovery initiative led by Aave service providers. **Key Details:** - Snapshot vote is live for the first round - Released funds would support restoring rsETH's backing - Multiple protocols have committed to the recovery effort, including LayerZero, Lido, EtherFi, and Ethena - Aave DAO separately proposed contributing 25,000 ETH **Background:** The rsETH markets were frozen across Aave V3 and V4 after the Kelp DAO bridge exploit. While rsETH on Ethereum mainnet appears fully backed, the incident created potential bad debt scenarios. DeFi United represents a coordinated response to restore market conditions and protect affected users. The proposal marks a test of cross-protocol cooperation in DeFi crisis response.
