A lot of people called Kelp “slow” or “silent” during the April 18th incident. But looking at the sequence, that silence looks very different now. Because behind the scenes: • Detection happened early • Contracts were paused across chains quickly • Wallets were blacklisted • SEAL-911 engaged almost immediately • A second $95M exploit was blocked That doesn’t happen if a team is inactive. It looks more like: → Prioritizing containment over noise → Coordinating before communicating And that approach likely: • Limited the blast radius • Prevented escalation • Bought time for recovery efforts (incl. Arbitrum intervention) I'm not saying everything was perfect. But calling it “lazy” misses what actually mattered: They were working while it was happening
