The Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge hack has cleaned up nearly $220 million in stolen funds, with only $1.7 million remaining untransferred.

PANews reported on June 2nd that, according to The Defiant, approximately $220 million in funds not frozen in the Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge attack has been almost entirely wiped out by the hackers. On-chain analyst Arkham Intelligence tracking data shows that only about $1.7 million remained in the original attacker's wallet. The hacker, linked to North Korea, launched a $292 million cross-chain bridge attack against LayerZero in April. Funds were transferred through privacy tools such as THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, and Umbra. The approximately $71 million in Ethereum frozen by the Arbitrum Security Council on April 20th is currently the only recoverable portion. A report released by LayerZero on May 18th attributed the attack to the North Korean TraderTraitor organization. Kelp has recovered approximately 116,000 rsETH through migration to Chainlink CCIP and the DeFi United initiative, while the Aave security module absorbed approximately $190 million in bad debt.
