The Sandbox confirmed a vulnerability in its SAND cross-chain bridge, with attackers minting uncollateralized tokens on Base and BSC. The incident, identified through on-chain data, affected less than 0.01% of the total supply. The project has paused cross-chain functions on these networks and isolated the compromised SAND tokens. Users are advised to avoid trading SAND on Base and BSC. A compensation plan is under development, with a full report to follow. The Fear & Greed Index for DeFi tokens may face short-term pressure due to such exploits.

Odaily Planet Daily reports: The Sandbox official has confirmed and contained the vulnerability exploit in the SAND cross-chain bridge, where attackers minted unbacked SAND on the Base and BSC networks, affecting less than 0.01% of the total SAND supply. SAND on Ethereum and Polygon networks remain unaffected, and user wallets were not compromised.

The Sandbox has temporarily suspended the cross-chain functionality for SAND on the Base and BSC networks, and has isolated the affected SAND tokens, which cannot currently be transferred or exchanged. The official team advises users not to trade SAND on these networks and is developing a compensation plan for affected LP users; a full incident report will be released soon.
