On November 3, 2025, Balancer’s v2 pools were exploited, leading to a loss of more than $116 million across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Sonic, Optimism, and Polygon. The attack took advantage of a vulnerability in the core vault smart contract, enabling unauthorized withdrawals. Forked projects like Beets and Berachain were also affected. Balancer confirmed the incident, warned users to avoid the impacted pools, and reassured that v3 pools are secure. Following the breach, the BAL token fell by 5%.
