Watching someone get frontrun by an MEV bot on their own exploit attempt is genuinely hilarious, the chain has no loyalty. Kelp moving fast on the freeze is the right call though, good sign for the protocol.

That rescue print on-chain is clean, but the freeze is the real support level that matters now.

The freeze is just optics, the MEV bot already settled the outcome before Kelp's team could even read the mempool, so calling the freeze the "real support" misreads where the actual protection came from.
