Berachain announced that the approximately $12.8 million lost due to the BEX/Balancer v2 vulnerability has been fully returned to the Berachain Foundation Deployer address, and the blockchain is now back to normal operation. The official statement indicated that the minting and exchange functions of HONEY have reopened, but BEX-related functions remain temporarily restricted, including exchanges, deposits, and withdrawals. For the affected fund pool containing a large number of independent depositors, the core team is developing a system to return assets to their original addresses and distribute them proportionally to users. Berachain also cautioned that deposits in BEX that were not affected by the vulnerability remain unwithdrawable for security reasons, as the specific cause of the Balancer vulnerability has not yet been fully determined.
