Threshold Partially Restores tBTC Bridge Following Patch as Aave Freezes Reserve
Threshold halted its tBTC bridge on October 30 to patch a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the Linux kernel. The project reported no evidence that the security flaw was exploited against tBTC nodes. The underlying network partially restarted on Sunday as security-patched node operators reconnected to process prior requests. On October 31, Aave froze its 120 million dollar tBTC reserve on Ethereum Core to limit exposure. Existing Aave users can still withdraw and repay funds, but new deposits and borrowing remain blocked until operations fully normalize.
