Our current technical assessment:
1) We have not been hacked and neither have similar pools on Balancer
2) We do not have precisely the types of pools on Balancer that have been impacted.
3) We will update you if anything knew is learned or changes.

Current assessment of Balancer Exploit as it pertains to https://t.co/HqzqHAcand
We do not believe manageUserBalance itself is the universal attack vector that makes all Balancer-style forks or pools vulnerable.
Our analysis indicates that the recent exploits primarily relied on invariant manipulation in composable-stable-type pools, exploiting rounding and scaling interactions inside the pool math. Most balancer pools are not affected by this mechanism.
The risk appears limited to stable pools that combine non-unit rate providers, ERC-4626-style wrappers, or other custom scaling factors—configurations where token scaling is dynamic or fractional rather than fixed by simple decimals.
Fortunately, we have been very conservative in the types of pools we have allowed on the platform eschewing complexity from Day 1.
Our own stable pools use only straightforward decimal normalization (powers-of-ten scaling), so we have not identified any evidence of the same vulnerability in our deployments.
We note that we are not aware of any similar Balancer pools being exploited. An example of which is this Balancer pool on Arbitrum:

Another on ETH

For our pools to be vulnerable then these pools would need to be as well.
Nonetheless, we are reviewing all pool math paths and monitoring for any edge-case deviations to confirm this assessment, and we will update the community promptly if new information arises.
We will keep studying this and update you with anything we find.

Recent public commentary and forensic threads (e.g., by Officer Secret) support our assessment that the exploit vector used against Balancer was primarily the rounding and scaling logic inside certain composable-stable pools which we do not use.
Though we believe our simple-decimal stable pools remain highly unlikely to be affected, we continue to review them with caution.
TL;DR https://t.co/Jezfdd31b2 users not effected.

Life would be better if everyone would remove all liquidity for pDAI vs everything else. The pDAI supply has grown by 213,546,101 since I started tweeting about the exploiters. Tons of coins are worthless out there, and no one cares about them, because they don't have liquidity, meaning, you can't inflate and dump them for other things, and then sell those things for stables and bridge out.
But instead, whoever is providing liquidity is getting extracted on, as you see from 20 minutes ago. And the those things they swapped their inflated pDAI for, then get sold. So when the liqudiity providers stop getting pDAI dumped on them, then the holders of the other coins don't have to get dumped on as well.
The extraction problem goes away when there's not liquidity to extract from for pDAI anymore. Just like thousand and thousands of other coins on Ethereum and PulseChain, not worth talking about, because worthless.
@yourfriendSOMMI We didnt block you. You blocked us when you were spreading fake news about us so we couldn't defend ourselves. You owe us an apology for that still.
You can now buy $sol on #pulsechain and even use that to leverage long on https://t.co/3UVsUkDwxO
We will gauge this pool soon.

We have made an otc deal with the 2Phux team which we think is a net benefit to all. We will discuss it and our strategy going forward in our telegram shortly.

One Billion!
We're thrilled to have reached this incredible milestone, a feat we never thought possible within a year of our launch.
Our dedication to improving #PulseChain liquidity for RH Eco, third parties, and native stables, while enhancing user experience, remains firm.
Remember, PHUX is freely distributed, and you can earn PHUX by providing liquidity in different gauged pools.

$HEX $PLSX
It's such an honor for https://t.co/ejs1tlvzOE to be on this lovely @GoPulsecom website taking the silver medal position after #pulsex as we always dreamed.
Remember, $PHUX token is being freely distributed to LP providers. You can become one today.

@AdrianLopezWeb3@BrandonBBMe We airdropped the PLSX saccers and they attacked us that it wasn’t enough money. No other community complained about a free airdrop.
So… I think people saw that and decided not to airdrop them again.
