The Sandbox has announced a compensation plan for its vulnerability incident, with compensation provided at a 1:1 ratio using its treasury funds.

2026.08.27 18:07:11

The Sandbox has released a post-mortem analysis report on its August 22 vulnerability incident. The report shows that attackers exploited a flaw in cross-chain configuration-related contracts on Base and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to steal 14,742,341.84 SAND tokens from its Ethereum vault, accounting for approximately 0.5% of the total maximum supply. The estimated economic impact is around $1.4968 million, with roughly $987,000 actually retained by the attackers. The Ethereum mainnet and Polygon network were not affected. Until further notice, do not purchase or send SAND on Base or BNB Smart Chain. Contracts deployed on Base and BNB Smart Chain have been permanently disabled and will not be reopened. The Sandbox stated that its team has reported the attacker’s wallet addresses to blockchain analytics firms TRM Labs and Chainalysis, and has directly communicated with relevant exchanges. The project also announced a compensation plan: wallets that lawfully held cross-chain SAND on Base or BSC prior to the incident will be compensated at a 1:1 ratio in Ethereum-based SAND, with funds coming from The Sandbox’s vault (no new tokens will be minted). The claim process will open in the next two weeks and remain accessible for two weeks.

Barclays lifts Tesla’s price target from $370 to $450 and upgrades its rating to Overweight.

Barclays has raised Tesla’s 12-month target price from $370 to $450, upgrading its stock rating from Equal Weight to Overweight, with the new target representing a roughly 21.6% increase from the prior level. The U.S. bank’s analysts noted that Tesla’s improved growth outlook for its core auto business, emerging inflection signs in its Robotaxi segment, and strong demand for energy storage services are all expected to support the company’s valuation. Additionally, expectations of a potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX could also bring a valuation premium, though there remains uncertainty over whether the two entities will ultimately combine. According to market data from BIT (Bit.com), Tesla (TSLA.O) rose nearly 2% in pre-market trading, likely driven by this news.

ByteDance has turned AI-powered short dramas into an assembly line: adapting 100,000-word novels into scripts, and the finished short dramas can also be reworked for overseas distribution.

Beating AI News: ByteDance today launched "Jimu Short Drama Studio", a platform integrating screenwriting, character design, storyboarding, video generation and post-production. Its screenplay model DreamScript supports parsing 100,000-word full-length novels, generating up to 100 consecutive episodes of scripts, and checking plot conflicts and character settings. The storyboard model DreamShot offers a 3D director console, enabling users to adjust camera positions and movements in advance and preview shooting effects. Characters, costumes and scenes from scripts are automatically organized into a material library for reuse in subsequent shots; unsatisfactory shots can be re-shot individually after generation. The feature most suited for short dramas going global is "Remake & Redraw": users upload a completed short drama, and the AI will break down characters, scenes, props and shots, then regenerate visuals based on the target region, art style and aspect ratio, while preserving the original plot rhythm and shot language as much as possible — essentially creating an overseas version by re-filming the original footage. Many of these functions are derived from ByteDance's subsidiary Xiaoyunque. The latter launched its short drama agent in March this year, and rolled out the "Remake & Redraw" feature in August. On October 24, 36Kr reported that Xiaoyunque has been integrated into Jimu, while retaining its independent entry point.

Bloomberg: Gold and silver relative to US Treasuries may have peaked, marking a turning point for precious metals.

Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone noted in a report that gold prices have pulled back to a support level around $4,000 per ounce, while silver is nearing $50 per ounce. However, their performance relative to U.S. Treasuries may have hit an extreme not seen in roughly 40 years, and the trend of precious metals versus U.S. Treasuries may have peaked. McGlone explained that interest rate hikes by most central banks, as well as the correction and volatility in the U.S. stock market, could drive a shift in the relative performance of precious metals to U.S. Treasuries. By contrast, U.S. Treasuries and Treasury bills with yields near 5% may regain appeal.
