Polymarket traders don’t see Kelp socializing losses after $292 million exploit

Polymarket traders are pricing in low odds that Kelp DAO will socialize losses from a recent $292 million exploit, meaning a system-wide redistribution of the shortfall is unlikely. Bettors are assigning a 14% chance that Kelp will force rsETH holders on Ethereum, who were not directly affected, to share the losses incurred by users on other chains. The exploit drained approximately 116,500 rsETH from a LayerZero-powered bridge, leaving parts of the system undercollateralized. "Socializing the losses" would involve Kelp redistributing the shortfall across all rsETH holders, similar to Bitfinex's approach after a 2016 hack. However, Kelp's situation is complicated by the exploit's fragmentation of losses across multiple chains and user groups, making a clean, system-wide redistribution technically and politically difficult.
