Threshold Network said its tBTC bridge was restarting onchain operations after a nine-day security pause, but its app will not accept new deposits, minting or redemptions until enough patched node operators are online. Requests submitted before the shutdown are expected to be processed as operators return. Threshold gave no date for restoring full service.
Threshold halted the bridge on Oct. 30 over a critical Linux kernel flaw and said it found no evidence the flaw was exploited against tBTC nodes. Aave froze its tBTC reserve on Ethereum Core on Oct. 31; the reserve holds about $120 million in tBTC and remains closed to new deposits and borrowing power, though existing users can withdraw and repay loans. Threshold said it detected no unauthorized Bitcoin transfers or token minting. Aave risk provider LlamaRisk said it would propose restoring the reserve after bridge operations return to normal.
