ALERT: The Sandbox contains bridge exploit on Base and BSC after unbacked $SAND mint; bridging paused

AI Market Summary

The Sandbox reported a bridge exploit on Base and BSC where an attacker minted unbacked SAND, prompting an immediate halt of bridging to isolate supply. While Ethereum and Polygon contracts and user wallets were not impacted, compromised liquidity on Base/BSC creates fragmentation and pricing dislocations across venues. Near-term market focus is on supply reconciliation, bridge restart timing, and cross-chain arbitrage/settlement risk for SAND.
