Users can swap, deposit, and withdraw as usual.
However, the BNB Chain stableswap and staking platform said its BNB Pool, featuring liquid BNB tokens from Stader, pSTAKE and Ankr, remains “on pause.”
For its part, Ankr said on Twitter that Helio will immediately cover the $15 million loss, and that Ankr will purchase $HAY over time using a $15 million recovery fund while working with Helio to repay the bad debt.
