The Sandbox pledges 1:1 repayment after $700K bridge exploit

Blockchain gaming platform The Sandbox has pledged to repay eligible SAND holders 1:1 after an Aug. 21 bridge exploit drained 14.744 SAND, worth about $700,000, from an Ethereum vault.　　On Thursday, the company published a post-mortem, saying users who legitimately held bridged SAND on Base or BNB Smart Chain before the attack will receive an equal amount of Ethereum-based SAND. Compensation will come from The Sandbox treasury, with no new tokens minted.　　The claims process is expected to open within two weeks and remain open for another two weeks. Two centralized exchanges hold more than 72% of eligible balances and will distribute compensation directly to their affected customers, according to The Sandbox.　　The project said the attacker exploited a configuration flaw in SAND‘s Base and BNB Chain contracts, allowing them to become the sole verifier of incoming bridge messages and mint unbacked tokens. The Sandbox confirmed that about 14.7 million SAND tokens were drained, equivalent to about 0.5% of the token’s 3 billion maximum supply.　　Although more than 339 trillion unbacked SAND was minted on the two networks, those tokens have been isolated and cannot be bridged or redeemed. SAND on Ethereum and Polygon was unaffected.　　The compromised bridge contracts will be permanently retired. The

WikiBit Crypto Market Weekly Outlook: BTC at a Crossroads — $85K Upside or $73K Downside?

1.Weekly Market Review: From “Dead Water” to a “Tsunami”　　Just 14 days ago, the entire market was still crying that “trading volume had fallen to the lowest level since 2019.” Then suddenly, Bitcoin exploded from $63,838 to $81,255.　　BTC gained 27% in 21 days, with a 20% surge in just three days — the strongest three-day rally since 2023.　　Ethereum was not left behind, rising more than 30% last week.

Short Squeeze! Short Squeeze!　　The main driver behind this rally was not retail FOMO.　　Instead, it was a combination of U.S. Treasury buyback operations and a forced liquidation cascade of approximately $4 billion in short positions.　　Short sellers watched helplessly as BTC climbed from $64K all the way to $81K. They were forced to close positions at higher prices, which in
