[Coin World] An investigation into investor claims against the Balancer protocol is currently underway. According to allegations, the decentralized liquidity protocol is suspected of misleading in its commercial information disclosure, with the core event of this controversy being a serious vulnerability revealed in November 2025.
This vulnerability has dealt a huge blow to Balancer, with losses amounting to $128 million. For users who invested in BAL coins, this is not just a number; it represents a real shrinkage of assets.
Currently, affected investors can participate in a potential class action lawsuit to recover lost funds. For the DeFi ecosystem, this event also reflects the importance of smart contract risk management and the critical role of information disclosure transparency by project parties. In the crypto market, such major security incidents often become reference points for investors' cautious decision-making.

1.28 billion is gone, is this the risk management of defi? Laughing to death, should have taken action earlier
---
bal's wave is textbook-level how not to disclose, who else do you want to fool?
---
Another classic move before the project party runs away, information disclosure "not transparent enough", listen to this statement
---
Class action lawsuit? Ha, if we can recover one-tenth, we should be grateful, given the current situation
---
$128 million... as soon as this number came out, I knew someone would have to cut loss
---
defi is always teaching us what risk means, bal's wave is a living textbook
---
I've said it before, the more the project party boasts that the smart contract is secure, the more likely there is a trick
---
Thinking back to those big loopholes before, how come so much money is lost this time, no audit before deployment?
---
bal investors have lost their bets, however much they can claim back is whatever
---
Misleading information disclosure still requires investigation, just go ahead, what's there to hesitate about?

Damn, it's this trap again, BAL has really disappointed this time, 128 million just vanished like that.
Class action lawsuit? Uh... better just wash it off and sleep, how many DeFi funds have been recovered?

$128 million, just like that it's gone? This BAL situation is really a bit outrageous.
Another DeFi big crash, how can people dare to play here?
Queue up for compensation, but to be honest, how much can we actually get back is another story.
How can we prevent contract vulnerabilities?
The transparency of information disclosure... sounds nice, but we only find out after the fact.
That's why I now doubt everything, even big projects.
BAL investors must be regretting it deeply right now.
Is a class action lawsuit reliable, or is this just another legal drama?
$128 million disappearing into thin air, how outrageous is that?
I've said before that DeFi is risky, and now, well, here's a bloody example.

$128 million evaporated directly, this is DeFi, it seems many projects haven't taken risk control seriously at all.
BAL really took a hit this time, investors are Rekt, no wonder there's a collective lawsuit, it's a question of how much can be recovered in compensation.
Is there a problem with information disclosure? It should have been checked long ago, it's enough to be drunk with such things happening over and over again.
Why is it always like this? A perfectly fine protocol suddenly has a $128 million loophole, who treated the risk plan as a decoration?
It's a pit, after this incident, who still dares to trust DeFi projects like this, needs to be more cautious.

That's why I never go all in on any single protocol... 128 million just disappeared like that.
---
BAL really let us down this time, should have been wary of these so-called DeFi stars long ago.
---
Wait a minute, are they saying there are issues with business disclosures? Were all those previous announcements just bullshit?
---
It would be a miracle if a class action lawsuit could recover anything, I've never seen anyone actually lose money in this crypto space.
---
It's the smart contract risk again... Sounds nice, but isn't the essence that the project party is unreliable?
---
LOL, does anyone really take the compensation issue seriously... The lawyer fees would eat up half of it.
---
I said that the risks of liquidity mining are high, and sure enough, I got caught in it.
---
128 million, that's really a total loss. Don't talk about reference points, it can't be salvaged at all.
---
Where is the Balancer team? Come out and say something, is this silence?
---
The transparency of DeFi... are you guys joking?
