Balancer Launches V2 Incident White-Hat Relief Fund with 180-Day Application Window

Incident Recap and Relief Measures

On November 3, 2025, Balancer V2 experienced a major security breach, which was mitigated by white-hat intervention. To compensate affected users, the platform has launched a relief fund now open for applications over the next 180 days.

Allocation Guidelines

Pursuant to BIP-892, relief funds will only be distributed among liquidity providers of affected pools. Allocations are determined based on BPT holdings at the snapshot block, and all payments will be made in actual tokens.

Application and Inactive Claims

Users can check their eligible amounts, sign required agreements, and submit applications. Assets unclaimed within 180 days will be marked as dormant, with future distribution subject to governance proposals.

Ongoing Investigation and Fund Recovery

Investigations into the incident are ongoing. Any additional recovered funds may be redistributed to affected users after completing governance procedures.
