In light of the recent theft of nearly $62.5 million by an in-house developer, NFT game Munchables has revealed plans to prevent such incidents from happening again. The developer has made changes to the team structure and enlisted the help of reputable entities like Manifold Trading, Selini Capital, and ZachXBT to enhance the security of the project's funds and smart contracts. These entities will play a role in auditing and upgrading contracts as well as overseeing the developer hiring process. Nethermind will conduct a thorough audit of the revised contracts before the game is relaunched. In addition to improving security measures, Munchables has pledged to provide financial support to those involved in the recovery of stolen funds. Refunds will be distributed directly to users' wallets, and caution is advised against contacting separate websites for refunds. Despite security breaches in the crypto sphere amounting to losses of over $100 million in March, efforts have been made to recover a significant portion of the compromised funds. Munchables' incident was one of the highest-ranking security events in terms of value lost, amongst others such as the Curio hack and the Prisma Finance incident. Despite a reduction in losses from February, March's figures remain higher than those of January, signaling ongoing challenges in the security of the crypto market.
