In a Jan. 6 tweet, Balancer warned certain liquidity providers to remove their LPs "ASAP" as there is an ongoing issue related to some of the protocol's pools. Other pools have had their fees set to zero by the balancer emergency multisig, which the team claims to have "mitigated" the issue. Not all pools could be mitigated in this way, however.
Balancer listed the pools that need to be withdrawn include DOLA / bb-a-USD on Ethereum, It's MAI life and SmellsLike Spartan Spirit on Optimism, and Tenacious Dollar on Fantom.
IMPORTANT: Because of a related issue, LPs of the following pools should remove their liquidity ASAP as the issue cannot be mitigated by the emergency DAO. https://t.co/WcBeBvjdY2
