BlackPool raised $6 M in a new round of funding on 2021-12-12.

The Balancer community has proposed a fund allocation plan for the 28 million dollars recovered from the 116 million hacker theft incident, divided into 8 million recovered by white hats and 20 million recovered by StakeWise. The proposal adopts a non-socialized compensation method to ensure fairness, and the community has engaged in intense discussions about it. This incident highlights the security risks in the DeFi space and has far-reaching implications for the future of the Balancer protocol.

A new proposal on Balancer's governance forum sets the stage for how the protocol plans to handle the next phase of its recovery effort. Summary Balancer has proposed a framework to distribute $8M in rescued assets after the V2 exploit. Whitehats would receive 10% bounties, while LP

After the Balancer v2 vault was attacked due to a major vulnerability, resulting in the loss of over $116 million in funds for several weeks, the Balancer DAO has begun discussing a plan to allocate approximately $8 million in recovered assets to the affected LPs. The proposal includes providing structured rewards to white-hat hackers and compensating users based on the Snapshot data of user pool assets at the time of the exploit.

The Balancer protocol community proposed a distribution plan for $8 million recovered from a $116 million exploit, ensuring reimbursements are targeted to affected liquidity pools on a pro-rata basis, while addressing concerns about the hack's sophistication and audit effectiveness.

Compilation: Vernacular Blockchain On November 3, 2025, the Composable Stable Pools of Balancer V2 and several fork projects on multiple chains suffered a coordinated attack, resulting in total losses exceeding $125 million. BlockSec issued an alert at the first time and subsequently released a preliminary analysis. This is a highly complex attack. Our investigation shows that the root cause is price manipulation resulting from precision loss in the invariant calculations, which in turn distorted the price computation of BPT (Balancer Pool Token). This invariant manipulation allows the attacker to execute a single batch swap.
