Berachain Foundation’s full restitution in the aftermath of the Balancer V2 exploit highlights a rare successful recovery in the decentralized finance sector.
Berachain Foundation confirmed it has fully recovered $12.8 million lost in the Nov. 3 Balancer V2 exploit, marking one of the few complete restitutions after a major DeFi hack in 2025.
