[Berachain Recovers $12.8 Million in Stolen Funds and Resumes Blockchain Operations]
On November 5, Berachain announced that approximately $12.8 million in funds stolen due to the BEX/Balancer v2 vulnerability had been returned to the Berachain Foundation Deployer address, and blockchain operations have been restored. The minting and exchange functions of HONEY have resumed simultaneously, but BEX functionalities remain restricted, including exchange, withdrawal, and deposit operations. For the stolen fund pools with a large number of independent depositors, the Berachain team is developing a system to return deposits to their original addresses and allocate them to users. The team reminds users that BEX depositors unaffected by the attack are temporarily unable to withdraw funds, as the cause of the Balancer vulnerability has not yet been fully identified.
