The Sandbox: SAND compensation claims open for eligible holders - By 10 Sep 2026

The Sandbox has opened compensation claims for eligible holders of legitimately bridged SAND on Base or BNB Smart Chain. Claimants can receive 1:1 compensation in SAND on Ethereum, with claims remaining open for two weeks.The process is funded by the project's treasury and is intended to address losses from the bridge exploit by giving affected balances a defined route to compensation. Because the payout is made in SAND on Ethereum at an equivalent amount, the mechanism moves the resolution to another network rather than restoring the original bridged position. The stated total supply remains unchanged, so the compensation process does not add dilution through new SAND issuance. Eligibility is limited to holders whose SAND was legitimately bridged on the named networks, making the claim requirements relevant to whether an affected balance can be covered.
