Gnosis Fork Recovers Balancer Funds
-----------------------------------

Gnosis Chain [executed](https://x.com/gnosischain/status/2003410653185474630) 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.

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.
