The research found that 47% of OApps operate with a 1-of-1 DVN security floor\u2014the most minimal configuration requiring only a single validator\u2014while 45% use 2-of-2 configurations and approximately 5% employ 3-of-3 or higher. KelpDAO&#8217;s rsETH token, which was targeted in a recent exploit, fell into the 1-of-1 bracket.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis provides open-source methodology and queryable data, inviting community feedback on DVN security standards across the LayerZero ecosystem. The findings highlight structural vulnerabilities in cross-chain bridge security, as single-validator configurations create single points of failure for protocol assets and user funds routed through LayerZero&#8217;s omnichain infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Sources: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Dune\/status\/2046257791321670098\" target=\"__blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer \">Dune Analytics<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>This article was generated automatically by The Defiant\u2019s AI news system from publicly available sources.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysis of 2,665 LayerZero OApp contracts shows nearly half rely on single-validator security configurations, the same setup that exposed KelpDAO&#8217;s rsETH to exploitation.
