According to The Defiant, Gauntlet has restricted deposits into its V1 vaults following a reported vulnerability in op-reth. The decision was made in response to intelligence about the potential issue, though Gauntlet indicated it has not received any confirmed reports of an actual exploit. In addition to halting new deposits, the risk curator is pausing allocations and reducing exposure to assets bridged via LayerZero. These actions are described as precautionary, based on the reported concern. No details about the nature of the vulnerability, the timeline for resolution, or user impact were provided. Gauntlet’s statements emphasize that the pause reflects a risk management response rather than evidence of active compromise.
