Bifrost Announcement

We have completed our technical investigation into the farming incident and confirmed the root cause. The vulnerability has been fixed, with additional security measures now being implemented. vDOT remains fully backed, and its underlying reserves were unaffected. Asset recovery efforts are ongoing with security firms, law enforcement, and relevant exchanges. Full technical report 👉 https://bifrost.io/blog/bifrost-farming-incident-technical-report

Hyperbridge Asset Recovery Registration is Now Open Users holding vETH or MANTA on Bifrost affected by the Hyperbridge incident can now register their Ethereum receiving address directly through the Bifrost dApp. Once registered, asset recovery and reissuance to Ethereum will be processed through onchain governance. The final distribution timing will depend on the governance process.

Farming Exploit Update Bifrost has identified a security incident affecting three farming pools: vDOT Single Token Farming, vASTR/ASTR, and vMANTA/MANTA. The incident was isolated to the shared keeper vaults used by these pools. Other Bifrost products remain unaffected, and vDOT continues to be fully backed 1:1. As a precaution, all farming pools have been temporarily paused while we conduct a comprehensive security review. Our team has traced the fund flow on-chain, contacted the relevant exchanges with formal freeze and recovery requests, and filed a report with law enforcement. Asset recovery efforts and the investigation are ongoing. Affected users do not need to take any action at this time. We are verifying impacted positions on-chain and will share further updates as progress is confirmed. Full update on X: https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2086268772042842599

Your DOT deserves a better strategy. Staking rewards matter. But so do capital efficiency. Leave it on CEX: → ~2% APY and longer unstaking wait Native staking: → ~3.45% APY and 2-day unbonding Or choose a more efficient way: vDOT → 6.26% APY with faster redeeming and zero fees

Last Reminder ⚠️ If you hold vDOT👌 or BNC 👌on Interlay or Kintsugi, please withdraw them before July 22, 2026. If you hold vGLMR 👌or vMOVR👌, please redeem your assets and complete the Moonbeam migration process before July 31, 2026. Please ensure all assets are migrated before the deadlines. Otherwise, you may not be able to recover your assets.

Following the previous announcement about the Hyperbridge Asset restoration plan: https://t.me/bifrost_announcements/1649 The snapshot and migration for affected Hyperbridge assets have been completed. ✅ 1/ vDOT and BNC have been distributed on Bifrost. Users can connect the same EVM wallet to Bifrost Dapp to manage their assets, including redemption and bridging back to Polkadot AssetHub. 2/ Ethereum vETH has been restored through on-chain transactions. All vETH from L2s has been migrated back to Ethereum. Minting and redemption services to be reopened soon. 3/ HP_ETH, HP_BASE_ETH, HP_ARB_ETH, and HP_OP_ETH have been converted 1:1 into Snowbridge ETH and can now be used normally. 4/ For users holding vETH and vMANTA on Bifrost A governance-based migration process is expected to open in August 2026, allowing users to move their assets from Bifrost to Ethereum. 📱post

After a comprehensive review, Bifrost will discontinue the use of Hyperbridge and begin an on-chain asset migration process for affected users. vDOT and vETH will be restored based on verified on-chain balances Hyperbridge ETH on Bifrost will be replaced 1:1 with Snowbridge ETH vETH and vMANTA redemption will open in August All process will be executed transparently through governance and multisig.

The DOT Pi Day Campaign is now live. 😅 More than 8,000 DOT holders have chosen vDOT for their staking.

Here's everything you need to know 🧵 📱 post tl;dr 📅 Campaign: July 9, 14:00 SGT → August 10, 14:00 SGT Mint vDOT 👉 https://app.bifrost.io/dot-pi-day 📖 Learn more: https://bifrost.io/blog/dot-pi-day-campaign-is-live-more-yield-zero-fees

Everything is coming together for vDOT. Polkadot's 2-day unbonding is now live, giving vDOT a faster redemption cycle and no slashing. Bifrost passed a new proposal takes vDOT to zero fees: 0% commission and 0% unstaking fee, so holders keep 100% of the staking yield. Next up: A new vDOT incentive campaign is coming soon.

❗️Reminder Again❗️ There are still users with $vDOT assets on Interlay. Please withdraw them as soon as possible. If you don't do so before 22 July 2026, your funds will be lost. 😱 Interlay's tweet

A major upgrade for vDOT is on the way. If approved, the remaining protocol fees on vDOT will be removed: ✔️ Commission: 10% → 0% ✔️ Unstake fee: 0.1% → 0% That means vDOT holders receive 100% of underlying DOT staking rewards while minting and unstaking at zero cost. Read the proposal and join the discussion 👇 https://bifrost.subsquare.io/referenda/277

One of the biggest upgrades in Polkadot staking is getting closer. If Ref 1910 excuted, nominators will no longer be exposed to slashing, while the unbonding period will be reduced to 2 days. For Bifrost vDOT, this strengthens the foundation: → Lower staking risk at the network level → Stronger capital efficiency across DeFi → More efficient arbitrage between vDOT and DOT You can always unlock more from vDOT 👉https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vDOT

Polkadot staking rewards are evolving. Ref#1909 introduces DAP reform, allocating 22.6% for the validator self-stake incentive, alongside a 0% validator commission model. For Bifrost vDOT, this creates an opportunity to optimize validator capital allocation and capture additional staking rewards without changing the underlying risk profile. https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1909

Bifrost is introducing a new protection layer for cross-chain assets. In the event of abnormal large-scale inflows, assets can be temporarily held before becoming fully transferable. Give governance time to react when something unexpected happens, while keeping normal cross-chain activity running as usual. Another step toward strengthening cross-chain asset security. https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2067558657240568221

The 10,000 DOT minimum self-stake requirement for Polkadot validators is now live. Polkadot staking is moving toward less risk and faster liquidity. vDOT has offered that from day one, and goes further: ✔️ Earn staking rewards automatically ✔️ Stay liquid and transferable ✔️ Participate across DeFi to boost yield https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2067202558343680187

Bifrost is currently completing the final integration work required to align with Hyperbridge's upgraded architecture. As this process moves forward, cross-chain services for supported vTokens are getting closer to being restored. We'll share further updates as progress continues. https://x.com/hyperbridge/status/2066544075428302876

Fast unbonding is coming to Polkadot. vDOT is already there. Earn staking rewards while staying liquid across lending, farming, LoopStake, and DeFi. Capital efficiency is what compounds ⬇️ https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2065077261615898985
