The past twenty or so hours have felt incredibly long for everyone.

Fortunately, all affected funds have been safely returned to the foundation address.

Our mainnet has also set sail again.

This is a difficult test, and it also allows us to witness the chivalrous spirit of the Web3 world.

Thanks to the righteous intervention of that white-hat hacker, the team has already applied for a bounty to show appreciation.

Thanks to all the teams and individuals who provided cooperation and assistance during this event.

We also want to thank every friend in the community who chose to trust and wait amid the chaos. Your calmness, encouragement, and feedback are our strongest support.

Currently:

- The minting and redemption of HONEY has been restored.

- BEX related functions are restricted

We ask everyone to understand that until the Balancer team thoroughly determines the root cause, we must take the most cautious approach to ensure the safety of everyone's assets.

We will never hastily restart services before safety has been confirmed one hundred percent.

- The team is working hard to develop an accurate fund refund system, aiming to safely and accurately return funds to each affected user's address within the next few days.

- Work with infrastructure partners on on-chain synchronization and data repair tasks.

Finally, I would like to sincerely say thank you.

Thank you to the community for staying calm amidst the chaos and for giving us valuable trust and patience in times of uncertainty.

This incident has deepened our understanding of the responsibilities we bear and strengthened our determination to build a safer and more powerful Berachain.

The road ahead is still long, but we will not change our original intention.

Let us continue to work together and build.🐻

Berachain!
