According to @PANewsCN, Berachain validators proactively halted the network to allow the core team to execute an emergency hard fork addressing a Balancer V2-related exploit on BEX, with plans to resume after affected funds are recovered, source: @PANewsCN on X. Smokey the Bera said the pause aims to contain impact on the USDe tri-pool on BEX and that the team requested Ethena to disable bridge outflows from Bera, source: Smokey the Bera on X via @PANewsCN. He added that lending markets have disabled or paused USDe deposits, HONEY minting and redeeming are paused, and centralized exchanges were contacted to blacklist related addresses to aid recovery, source: Smokey the Bera on X via @PANewsCN. The core team will distribute binaries to validators and service providers for the fork, noting the affected pool contains non-native assets and will require slot restructuring beyond simple balance edits, source: Smokey the Bera on X via @PANewsCN.

According to @PANewsCN, the Berachain Foundation stated it became aware within the past 45 minutes of an exploit affecting Balancer and has paused HONEY minting plus BEX pool and treasury operations to prevent potential damage to the Berachain ecosystem, with further updates to follow; source: Berachain on X, Nov 3, 2025. The pause freezes HONEY issuance and BEX liquidity activity on Berachain during the incident window, constraining swaps and LP interactions on BEX until services resume; source: Berachain on X, Nov 3, 2025.
