Berachain: Hard fork upgrade files have been distributed; the attacker is a white-hat hacker and is willing to return the funds

ChainCatcher reported that Berachain posted on the X platform stating that the hard fork upgrade files have been distributed, and many validator nodes have already upgraded. They hope that the core infrastructure partners required for on-chain operations (such as liquidation oracles) ensure their RPCs are updated, as this is currently the main obstacle to resuming on-chain operations. After completing the core service RPC requests, they will coordinate with bridge, CEX partners, custodians, and others to restore services.

Berachain added that they are currently communicating with the BEX fund holder, who is an MEV bot operator and claims to be a white-hat hacker, willing to pre-sign a series of transactions so that funds can be returned after the upgrade. The funds are expected to be returned to Berachain's deployment address.
