Berachain: The hard fork upgrade file has been distributed, and the attacker is a white hat hacker willing to return the funds

Berachain posted on the X platform that the hard fork upgrade files have been distributed, and many validator nodes have also been upgraded. They hope that core infrastructure partners required for on-chain operations (such as liquidation oracles) will ensure that they update their RPC, as this is currently the main obstacle to restoring on-chain operations. After completing the core service RPC requests, they will coordinate with bridges, CEX partners, custodians, and others to restore services.

Berachain also added that they are currently in communication with BEX fund holders, who is an MEV bot operator and claims to be a white hat hacker, willing to pre-sign a series of transactions to return funds after the upgrade, which is expected to be returned to Berachain's deployment address.
