Threshold Network said its tBTC bridge had begun restarting onchain operations after a nine-day security pause, but its app would not accept new deposits, minting or redemptions until enough patched node operators returned. It gave no date for that step. Requests submitted before the shutdown are expected to be processed as more operators reconnect.
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’s tBTC reserve, holding about $120 million, remains frozen to new deposits and borrowing against the token; existing users can still withdraw and repay loans. Threshold said it detected no unauthorized Bitcoin transfers or token minting, while Aave risk provider LlamaRisk said it would propose restoring the reserve after bridge operations return to normal.
