Gnosis Chain executed a hard fork to recover approximately $9 million in assets stolen from Balancer v2 on Gnosis Chain during the Balancer exploit in early November. The funds have been successfully transferred into a DAO-controlled wallet. Gnosis Chain is working on returning the recovered assets to affected users. Gnosis node operators must update their clients and follow the fork to avoid penalties. The exploit impacted Balancer V2 Composable Stable Pools and Balancer V2 forks across multiple chains, resulting in over $110 million in stolen assets.
The Ethereum Foundation announced that Devcon 8 will be held at the JIO World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India, from November 3 to 6, 2026. As the world’s largest gathering of Ethereum developers, the event will feature a mix of deep technical sessions, newcomer programming, community hubs, and cultural installations. To maintain a focus on the main event, organizers are urging ecosystem teams to schedule side events before or after Devcon 8. The conference concludes just before Diwali, a major festival of lights celebrated throughout the country.
Growthepie integrated support for Polygon PoS into its Ethereum ecosystem analytics tracker. Polygon now has a dedicated chain page on Growthepie where users can track real-time TPS, network activity, and economic data. With over $3.3 billion in bridged TVL, including $2.2 billion in stablecoins, Polygon ranks as the ninth-largest chain by total value bridged. Detailed application-level metrics for builders will also be added to the dashboard.
