Sandbox Contained Cross-Chain Exploit Affecting Less Than 1% of SAND Supply
The Sandbox has identified and contained a vulnerability in its cross-chain bridge on Base and BNB Smart Chain.
This allowed an attacker to mint unbacked SAND tokens, but only affected less than 0.01% of the total 3 billion SAND supply.
No user wallets were compromised, and Ethereum and Polygon tokens remained secure.
The incident prompted exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb to halt SAND deposits and withdrawals as a precaution.
