Aave-affiliated DeFi recovery group United released a technical implementation plan to restore rsETH support after the April 18 Kelp Bridge exploit released 116,500 rsETH, then worth approximately $293 million, without properly burning Unichain.
Plan yes convert allocate Ether (ETH) to rsETH in tranches and deposit the tokens in the appropriate bridge box, allowing the bridge to resume normal operation once power is restored. According to Aave, LayerZero and Kelp have also implemented additional safety measures before the bridge returns to full functionality.
In parallel, DeFi United plans to purge positions linked to attackers in Aave and Compound to recover security and address market disruption caused by the exploit. The group found that seven addresses associated with the exploit still have dynamic rsETH-backed positions on the Aave and Compound platforms, representing approximately 107,000 rsETH of the original 116,500 rsETH released during the incident.

The proposed sequence would temporarily adjust Oracle’s rsETH price to enable controlled liquidations, transfer the recovered collateral to DeFi United’s multisig, reinstate Oracle, exchange rsETH for ETH, and apply the resulting funds to address deficits in affected markets.
The recovery plan moves rsETH’s efforts away from public pledges and commitments to a coordinated technical process that depends on government approvals, momentary changes to Oracle, and execution across several DeFi protocols. While the process is aimed at restoring rsETH support, it remains dependent on DAO votes, finalized contracts, and an attacker not disrupting the decommissioning steps.

Ethereum supporters have joined the recovery effort
The technical roadmap follows previous efforts to secure funding and management support for rsETH recovery.
On Monday, Consensys and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin joined DeFi United with a commitment of up to 30,000 ETH, while Sharplink, a publicly traded Ethereum treasury company, joined in an advisory role to support put together a recovery plan.
