- The launch follows the year's biggest DeFi hack five months ago, when attackers allegedly linked to the Lazarus Group drained about $292 million from a Kelp DAO bridge running on LayerZero that relied on a single verifier.

- Aave and Maple have already begun adopting features from the upgrade, while the Risk Management Network no longer serves as the primary safeguard for transactions.
- Johann Eid, Chainlink Labs' chief business officer, stated that "historically, legacy bridges have lost billions due to insecure infrastructure," emphasizing users need not be "cross-chain security infrastructure experts.
