Key Points:
The vulnerability report prompted immediate emergency measures to safeguard the majority of Total Value Locked (TVL), though certain funds are still exposed to risk. To counter this, users are strongly advised to promptly withdraw from the affected liquidity pools (LPs).
It triggered a swift response from Balancer Labs, resulting in the mitigation of over 80% of the affected pools. Approximately 4% of Balancer TVL remains vulnerable due to the ongoing risk associated with these pools.
Despite the potential threat, it’s noteworthy that this vulnerability has not been exploited, and no funds have been lost thus far.
In response to the situation, the Emergency SubDAO initiated proportional exit options for all impacted pools. Additionally, pools still within the pause window were temporarily suspended as a preventive measure.
Balancer emphasizes that funds held in the mitigated pools, clearly labeled as “mitigated,” are considered safe.
However, they strongly urge users to transition to secure pools or execute timely withdrawals. Pools that could not be adequately mitigated are categorized as “at risk,” and users in such pools are strongly encouraged to exit immediately.
To facilitate user actions, Balancer has introduced a personalized interface feature. This tool helps users determine whether their connected wallets are associated with affected pools. Moreover, a streamlined withdrawal process has been set up to guide users through the necessary steps.
Notably, in a related development from January, Balancer had already cautioned liquidity providers to remove funds from five pools, safeguarding a sum of $6.3 million.
This proactive measure seems to be part of a broader strategy to fend off potential exploits, effectively protecting other pools from similar risks.
