Why the $292M KelpDAO Exploit Proves Smart Contract Audits Aren't Enough.

The "Valid" Exploit The KelpDAO incident is terrifying because the on-chain transactions looked 100% valid. Signatures verified. Messages relayed. 116,500 rsETH moved. The Infrastructure Vector The attack targeted the off-chain verification layer. By compromising RPC nodes, the attackers fed false data to a single-point-of-failure (1-of-1 DVN). As someone who builds automated pipelines, I see this as a "Data Integrity" failure. We focus so much on the Solidity code that we ignore the "Data Pipes
