Recovery Assistance Offer — 21,000 ETH Dormant Balancer V2 Exploit Wallets (BIP-908)

Governance General Proposal
1

Hi Balancer community,

I’m reaching out from CyberLeakWatch Investigations, an independent blockchain forensics unit. We’ve been monitoring three dispersion wallets from the November 2025 Balancer V2 exploit that hold a combined 21,000 ETH (~$44.8M) — all completely dormant for 5 months with zero outgoing transactions.

What we’re offering

  • Real-time sentinel monitoring on all 3 wallets (already active)
  • CEX freeze coordination if funds move (pre-established contacts at major exchanges)
  • Law enforcement coordination channels
  • Success-fee basis under BIP-908 — zero cost unless funds are recovered

Why now

  • The funds haven’t moved in 5 months — the recovery window is still open
  • Extended dormancy often precedes exit attempts
  • We sent two emails to security@balancer.finance (March 13 and March 20) with no response, so reaching out here
  • With Balancer Labs transitioning its corporate structure, coordination through the community and trusted intermediaries becomes even more important

Our capabilities

We have pre-established compliance contacts at Binance, OKX, HTX, Bybit, Coinbase, Tether, and Circle for rapid freeze coordination. We also maintain active channels with international law enforcement agencies for cross-border cases.

We’ve simultaneously contacted SEAL 911 to help bridge coordination with the security team and Treasury Council.

We’d like to coordinate with anyone involved in recovery efforts under BIP-908. Happy to share our monitoring setup and forensic findings with the appropriate team.

Thank you for your message. We have been prioritizing direct recovery efforts over the high volume of solicitations received since the hack. As you might expect following the incident, this inbox was inundated with solicitations from security firms; consequently, we have refrained from responding to those individually.

The Balancer Foundation is actively coordinating fund recovery and law enforcement liaison efforts with professional forensic partners. The DAO has officially sanctioned a specific recovery information bounty on top of the Safe Harbor Agreement.

As we haven’t seen a submission from you via SEAL, we invite you to share any relevant details directly via admin@balancer.finance to ensure it reaches the right team immediately.
