Berachain founder: The public chain has been suspended to prevent the Balancer hack from spreading further, and a series of measures have been taken to prevent financial losses.

Smokey The Bera, founder of Berachain, posted on the X platform that, "The Bera node group has proactively suspended the public chain to prevent the Balancer vulnerability from affecting BEX (mainly the USDe three pools). - Instructed the Ethena team to disable the Bera bridge - Disabled/suspended USDe deposits in the lending market - Suspended HONEY token minting and exchange - Communicated with CEXs to ensure the hacker addresses are blacklisted. Our goal is to recover funds as quickly as possible and ensure the security of all LPs. The Berachain team will release the binary to relevant node validators and service providers as soon as preparations are complete (because the pool contains non-native assets, this involves some slot reconstruction, not just modifying the Bera token balance)."
