The balancer frontend is under an attack. The issue is currently under investigation. Please do NOT interact with the balancer UI until further notice!
Balancer has received a critical vulnerability report affecting a number of V2 Pools.
Emergency mitigation procedures have been executed to secure a majority of TVL, but some funds remain at risk.
Users are advised to withdraw affected LPs immediately.
Balancer is proud to announce a partnership with
@aaveaave
to build out the first V2 Asset Manager.
This allows idle assets in V2 pools to earn yield on Aave without increased gas costs for swaps.

We believe that Balancer Labs and Polygon can work closely to increase liquidity in DeFi, lower trading fees to zero, and make DeFi accessible to everybody!
IMPORTANT: Because of a related issue, LPs of the following pools should remove their liquidity ASAP as the issue cannot be mitigated by the emergency DAO.
Protocol fees of some Balancer pools have been set to 0 to avoid an issue that is now mitigated and will be publicly disclosed in the near future.
This has been done by the emergency multisig, a 4/7 comprised of BLabs engineers and Balancer Maxis:
Half a billion!
Excited with this significant milestone that we would never have expected to achieve only 4 months after launch.
The work is only beginning to better integrate Balancer liquidity and increase volume/liquidity. We will get there!
