Threshold’s tBTC bridge is partially back after a nine-day security pause, while Aave’s roughly $120 million tBTC reserve stays frozen to new deposits.
Threshold Network halted the bridge on October 30, 2026 while operators patched a critical Linux kernel vulnerability. On Sunday, November 8, it said the underlying network was restarting as patched node operators reconnected. Cointelegraph reported on November 9 that onchain bridge operations have resumed, but the app still will not accept new deposits, minting, or redemptions until enough nodes are online. Threshold found no evidence the flaw was exploited against tBTC nodes.
Aave froze its tBTC reserve on Ethereum Core on October 31. New deposits and borrowing power against tBTC stay blocked; existing users can still withdraw and repay. Threshold put about 4,320 $BTC in bridge wallets against roughly 4,185 tBTC in circulation, with no unauthorized Bitcoin transfers or minting detected. LlamaRisk said it would propose restoring the reserve once Threshold operations return to normal.
