# Consensys And Joseph Lubin Commit 30,000 ETH To DeFi United *Consensys and Joseph Lubin pledge up to 30,000 ETH, and SharpLink joins as a strategic advisor, to DeFi United.* By [ETH Daily](https://ethdaily.io) ยท 2026-04-27 aave, defi, governance, rseth, kelpdao, layerzero, consensys, sharplink, recovery, defi-united --- Consensys and Joseph Lubin have [committed](https://x.com/aave/status/2048749676459884804) up to 30,000 ETH in financial support toward the [DeFi United](https://ethdaily.io/defi-united-secures-funds-to-restore-rseth) rsETH recovery effort. SharpLink is also participating in a strategic advisory capacity. The contribution is particularly significant given that the [30,765.67 ETH frozen by the Arbitrum Security Council](https://ethdaily.io/arbitrum-freezes-kelpdao-exploiter-eth) will not be liquid for approximately 49 days pending governance approval. The rsETH backing shortfall is now effectively covered by a combination of previously announced and newly confirmed commitments. These include contributions from [Aave DAO](https://ethdaily.io/aave-contributes-25000-eth-to-defi-united), [Lido](https://ethdaily.io/lido-offers-2500-steth-to-rseth-relief-vehicle), EtherFi, Ethena, [Mantle](https://ethdaily.io/mantle-extends-loan-facility-to-aave-dao), and Compound Finance, which [committed](https://x.com/Compound_xyz/status/2048865871096168838) 3,000 ETH. The Babylon Foundation is also depositing [3 million USDT](https://x.com/bbn_foundation/status/2048475434384314745) into Aave, and Tron is depositing [20 million USDT](https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/2048709762322444619) into Aave to assist with liquidity. The stablecoin deposits have helped ease utilization rates slightly, allowing USDT lenders to begin withdrawing. * * * Sponsored by ------------ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/81f33d00a6b2ca439a0c600e476f7ed085d865617c3c00a46875ed73b4c50710.jpg) EarnUSD is a stablecoin vault by Lido for earning transparent, onchain USD-denominated rewards.
