Balancer Becomes Focal Hub for Liquid Restaking Token Liquidity
🔥 Liquid Restaking Frenzy
Balancer, a decentralized exchange protocol, has emerged as a leading platform for hosting liquidity for Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs). The platform has facilitated over $400 million in total value locked (TVL) across various LRT liquidity pools, offering unique features such as yield-bearing native technology, tailored AMM logic, and boosted points exposure. Notable collaborations include partnerships with protocols like Lido Finance, Rocket Pool, Frax Finance, Swell Network, Stakewise, Renzo Protocol, and EtherFi. Balancer has launched innovative liquidity pool configurations, including the first-ever Tri-LRT pool offering quadruple points from multiple LRT protocols. With over $6.5 billion in TVL across Eigen Layer and LRT protocols, Balancer aims to provide users with seamless and diversified exposure to the liquid restaking ecosystem.

🔒 Balancer Shuts Down v2
**Balancer has approved BIP-887**, officially disabling v2 pool factories and making v3 the only platform for new pool creation. **Key Changes:** - No new v2 pools can be created - Existing v2 pools remain operational but migration to v3 is recommended - v3 offers better gas efficiency and enhanced security **What's Affected:** - WeightedPoolFactory disabled - ManagedPoolFactory disabled - NoProtocolFeeLiquidityBootstrappingPoolFactory disabled **What Continues:** - veBAL system unaffected - Partner integrations maintained - Gyro eCLP pools still deployable (separate factories) - Migration support available This transition concentrates activity on v3 for improved security and resource efficiency.

💰 Balancer Proposes Framework for Redistributing $45.7M in Recovered Hack Funds
**Balancer has opened community discussion on redistributing recovered funds** from the November 3rd V2 exploit that initially stole $94.8M. **Key Recovery Details:** - $45.7M total protected/recovered through coordinated response - $4.6M recovered by whitehat hackers under SEAL framework - $19.3M protected through emergency pool pauses - $21.8M recovered by StakeWise DAO emergency operation **Proposed Distribution Framework:** - Pool-by-pool reimbursement rather than socializing losses - LPs must actively claim recovered funds (no airdrops) - Proportional distribution based on positions at exploit time - Only applies to pools where funds were actually recovered **Technical Background:** The exploit targeted V2 Composable Stable Pools through rounding errors in exact-out swaps, affecting pools across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Polygon. **Balancer V3 remains completely unaffected** due to its different architecture. **Next Steps:** - Community feedback period on [forum proposal](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/rfc-distribution-of-rescued-funds-from-balancer-v2-november-3rd-2025-attacks/6883) - veBAL governance vote required for final approval - Claiming process details to be announced - Continued law enforcement coordination for remaining funds Balancer emphasizes transparency and user-centric approach throughout the recovery process.
