According to Odaily Planet Daily, 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 has now returned to normal operation.

The official statement indicates that HONEY's minting and exchange functions have been reopened, but BEX-related functions remain temporarily restricted, including exchanges, deposits, and withdrawals. Regarding the affected funds 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Berachain also cautioned that deposits in BEX that have not been compromised are still unable to be withdrawn. This is for security reasons, as the specific cause of the Balancer vulnerability has not yet been fully determined.
