The Sandbox’s $SAND token has come under fresh scrutiny after a security issue involving its cross-chain bridge on Base and $BNB Chain.
The project said an attacker was able to mint unbacked SAND on the affected networks. Bridging was disabled while the team worked to contain the issue.
Why It Matters
This incident highlights an important risk in cross-chain infrastructure: vulnerabilities in bridges can affect token liquidity and market confidence.
According to the project’s update, SAND on Ethereum $ETH and Polygon was not affected.
My Take
The key thing to watch now is how The Sandbox handles the affected networks, communicates the incident and protects users.
For the wider crypto market, this is another reminder that security remains critical in cross-chain systems.
