The Edge Series: Market Intelligence #34 @0xGeeGee prompts | powered by Chaos AI 1. @Balancer Exploited for $129M Across Seven Networks Balancer suffered a $129M exploit, affecting pools across @Ethereum, @Arbitrum, @base, @Optimism, @0xPolygon, @SonicLabs, and @berachain. The breach was traced to a faulty access control in the “manageUserBalance” function of Balancer V2 vaults, which allowed attackers to execute unauthorized withdrawals through the UserBalanceOpKind.WITHDRAW_INTERNAL operation. Stolen assets included 6,850 osETH, 6,590 WETH, and 4,260 wstETH. The main exploiter wallet now holds approximately $100M, comprising 63.98% WETH, 26.92% osETH, and 9% wstETH, with two smaller addresses containing $13.5M and $3.7M. Forked protocols such as and Berachain were also hit, losing over $3M collectively. $BAL dropped roughly 5% within hours as Balancer confirmed an investigation. >> Read more on Chaos AI:

2. @Berachain Halts to Patch @Balancer Exploit; $BERA Dops to $1.69 Berachain halted its blockchain after a BalancerV2 exploit impacted its BEX exchange. Validators coordinated a planned halt to allow an emergency hard fork that will patch the BalancerV2 vulnerability affecting multiple DeFi protocols. The halt came shortly after the team paused $HONEY minting and BEX vaults as precautionary measures. $BERA fell 5.2% over the past week to $1.69, though most of the decline predated the announcement. The token has dropped 39.5% over the past 30 days and trades 88.6% below its February 2025 peak of $14.83. >> Read more on Chaos AI:
