Earlier, TreasureDAO mentioned pausing their marketplace. This included the flagship product of Treasure, Bridgeworld to ensure that the safety of Legion is not at stake. Additionally, the representative of TreasureDAO warned users to 'delist everything' and later added that they have identified the vulnerabilities as well. 

Assuring the users, Treasure further continued, 
<blockquote>"Do not worry, if you are impacted we will find a solution to make you whole. Now is the time for the community to stay strong."</blockquote>
Although the full extent of the exploit seems unclear, however, a blockchain address associated with the hacker provides some indication. The address shows that the most popular NFTs of Arbitrum, 17 Smol Brains were stolen. The total value of the theft is 426,511.38 in MAGIC ($1.4 million). 

The news resulted in a sharp drop in the prices of MAGIC, which plummeted prices from $3.8 to $2.6. The current trading value is $3.3. At present, TreasureDAO has been working towards solving the vulnerability. Treasure is beneficial for an expanding network of metaverse by adopting a modular approach to convergence NFTs, DeFi, and Gaming.
