The Sandbox cross-chain bridge exploited to mint 14.9 billion unbacked SAND, Coinbase to delist SAND futures

Odaily News: Metaverse gaming platform The Sandbox has confirmed a vulnerability in its cross-chain bridge, allowing attackers to mint unbacked SAND on Base and BNB Smart Chain. Blockchain security firm PeckShield detected on August 21 that two addresses had collectively minted approximately 14.9 billion SAND. The Sandbox subsequently shut down bridging functionality on both networks.

The Sandbox stated that the affected assets are bridged assets on Base and BNB Smart Chain, while SAND on Ethereum and Polygon, user wallet assets, and the Ethereum-locked assets backing the token remain unaffected. The proportion of genuinely collateralized assets involved in this incident is less than 0.01% of the total SAND supply.

The Sandbox is developing a compensation plan for affected liquidity providers and advises users not to trade SAND on Base or BNB Smart Chain until bridging is restored. Coinbase plans to delist 10 perpetual futures contracts, including SAND, on August 26, with open positions to be automatically settled at that time. (Bitcoin.com News)
