[Gauntlet Restricts V1 Vault Deposits and Suspends Asset Allocation] Risk management firm Gauntlet has taken measures to address an op-reth vulnerability reported by some OP Stack chains, including closing the V1 Vault supply queue, suspending asset allocation, and reducing exposure to LayerZero bridge assets. Gauntlet stated that no exploits of the vulnerability have been reported. Clearing the supply queue will prevent new vault deposits, but this measure will not close withdrawals or the underlying lending market; withdrawals depend on available liquidity in the underlying market. Gauntlet stated that these measures will remain in effect until the issue is resolved, without providing a resumption date. (Source: The Defiant)
