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

Techub News, Berachain posted on X platform stating that the hard fork upgrade files have been distributed, and many validator nodes have been upgraded. It hopes that core infrastructure partners required for on-chain operations (such as liquidation oracles) ensure to update their RPC, as this is currently the main obstacle to resuming on-chain operations. After completing core service RPC requests, coordination with bridges, CEX partners, custodians, etc., will follow to restore services. Berachain added that it is currently communicating with a 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 to return the funds after the upgrade. The funds are expected to be returned to Berachain's deployment address.
