We’re aware of a potential exploit impacting Balancer v2 pools. Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority. We’ll share verified updates and next steps as soon as we have more information.

This is the last message from Balancer in this thread. Please do not engage with or click on any link from scams & phishing attempts that may get posted below.

@Balancer Not your 🔑 - Not your coin 🪙

@Balancer 117M in USD drained. I hope you get those funds back.

@Balancer Meanwhile the amount of audits it got:

@Balancer are v3 pools confirmed safe or should all liquidity be withdrawn for now

@Balancer ---------------------------------- What You Should Do Right Now ---------------------------------- 1.) First off, this exploit targeted V2 pools specifically -- ETH-related ones. V3 should be unaffected based on the latest info. 2.) If you have liquidity in Balancer V2 pools,

@Balancer The key question is the scope. Is this a specific, isolated pool with a faulty gauge? Or a fundamental flaw in the V2 core architecture? The market reaction and total impact will depend entirely on the answer. Awaiting the post-mortem.

@Balancer From a legal & security standpoint - what can even be done? Your only option is to find the funds, freeze them and then return to the wallets drained. If that doesn't become possible there is literaly 0 ways to make the drainer answer for the crime and to reimburse the victims.

@Balancer We're actively tagging wallets related to this exploit https://eth.blockscout.com/add... But this is where real community shines: submit public tags on blockscout explorers to keep everyone safe 🫡

@Balancer I think its more than potential as more than $100 mill just got drained from the vault

@Balancer Let us know if there's anything we can support on our end. Our team's on standby.

@Balancer balancer had so many audits with $1M bug bounty, still have to face this disaster. security in this space should never be underestimated, it's the baseline. same for onchain trading platforms too.

@Balancer $110M in a single transaction is insane.

@Balancer Classic. Skimping on security audits always backfires. 🤦‍♂️ Hope user funds are safe. 🙏 For any DeFi protocol, an audit is a fundamental necessity, not an optional expense. 🛡️

@Balancer No sugarcoating. Immediate, clear updates are what the community needs right now. We appreciate the priority. Keep pushing the verification.

@Balancer I was saying the same during the GMX exploit in july. But why users are not moving their funds to the latest version???

@Balancer « Potential » wtf you talking about bro 90M already vanished

@Balancer must be a difficult time. hope you recover the funds, stay strong Team

@Balancer Great start to the week for crypto.

@Balancer the word 'potential' is doing a lot of heavy lifting here 😅

@Balancer Dang! Who did your audit?

@Balancer Og memes are less risky than yielding on unsecure audited code.

@Balancer This is why we are proud to provide cover to keep users safe onchain. Affected users with active cover should reach out to us https://x.com/OpenCover/status...

@Balancer My $10 just got wiped

@Balancer not so 'balanced' by the looks of it 😭

@Balancer My eth has been completely reset in the balancer...

@Balancer Are you going to refund the stolen funds?

@Balancer it's a little more than a potential exploit

@Balancer potential?

@Balancer Their auditors' silence is deafening.

@Balancer if something is needed my DMs are open. no I dont want any money.

@Balancer bro said potential
