Berachain Hard Fork Upgrade Progresses Amid Coordination Efforts

According to BlockBeats, Berachain announced on the X platform that the hard fork upgrade files have been distributed, and many validator nodes have completed their upgrades. The chain's core infrastructure partners, such as clearing oracles, are urged to update their RPCs, as this remains the primary obstacle to resuming on-chain operations. Once the core service RPC requests are completed, coordination with bridge operators, CEX partners, and custodians will follow to restore services. Berachain is also in communication with BEX fund holders, including an MEV bot operator who identifies as a white-hat hacker. This individual has expressed willingness to pre-sign a series of transactions to return funds post-upgrade, with the expectation that they will be returned to Berachain's deployment address.
