Sandbox Pauses Bridging on Base and BNB Chain Following Exploit
Affected networks isolated, with less than 0.01% of SAND supply at risk.
The Sandbox, a Web3 gaming network, has temporarily disabled bridging on its Base and BNB Chain integrations after an exploit. The company said the action was taken to isolate tokens on the affected networks and limit further risk.
The team also warned users not to trade SAND on Base or BNB Chain until the issue is resolved. According to the announcement, the impact involves less than 0.01% of the total SAND supply.
Key details
- Bridging on Base and BNB Chain has been disabled.
- Users were told to avoid trading SAND on the two networks.
- The exploit is said to affect under 0.01% of the token's supply.
Bridge-related exploits have been a recurring challenge for the crypto industry, as these cross-chain tools often hold significant amounts of locked assets. The Sandbox's quick response mirrors a broader trend of projects pausing operations until the scope of an incident is fully understood.
