Berachain Distributes Hard Fork Files as MEV Operator Agrees to Return Funds

Berachain distributed hard fork upgrade files on Nov. 4, with multiple validator nodes completing updates, the project said in an X post. The network identified core infrastructure partners, including liquidation oracles, as the primary barrier to resuming chain operations and requested they update their RPC endpoints. Berachain said it is coordinating with the BEX fund holder, an MEV bot operator who identified himself as a white hat and agreed to pre-sign transactions to return funds to Berachain's deployment address following the upgrade.
