Berachain Blacklists Reward Vaults and Suspends BGT Rewards in Response to Wasabi Private Key Leak

Odaily Odaily reported that the Berachain Foundation issued a warning on platform X, stating that the Wasabi Protocol has triggered a cross-chain security incident due to the exposure of its deployer's private key, affecting multiple blockchains including Berachain. To prevent the risk from spreading, Berachain has suspended and blacklisted all affected Wasabi Reward Vaults within the network, immediately halting the distribution of BGT staking rewards to the compromised contracts and blocking the flow of new BGT into the affected contracts.

The official requires all users who have previously interacted with Wasabi on Berachain to immediately revoke token approvals for the specified contracts to prevent asset theft risks. Berachain also emphasized that the BGT reward funds within the native RewardVaults remain safe and secure, and users can claim them normally. This incident does not affect the core ecosystem interests.
