Liquid Network resumed operations on September 10 after a security incident, with block production and most ecosystem services restored. About 3,400 of 4,000 withdrawn BTC have been recovered, and peg-outs remain paused pending full 1:1 backing confirmation and security reviews.
The Sandbox experienced a bridge exploit resulting in 339 trillion unbacked SAND tokens minted across Base and BNB Chain, but only 14.74M real SAND was drained with estimated economic impact of $1.5M.
