The Berachain Foundation has announced the distribution of a hard fork version, with most validators having completed the upgrade. The network is currently awaiting updates to core infrastructure, such as the liquidation oracle, to resume block production. Additionally, the foundation confirmed that an MEV bot operator, claiming to be a white hat, has agreed to return BEX funds to the Berachain deployer address 0xD276…32A2 once the chain is restored. Following the network's recovery, the team plans to release enhanced security measures for BEX and core applications, along with future plans.
