The third-party image caching service that Magic Eden utilizes, the biggest NFT marketplace in Solana, claimed to have been hacked.

On Monday night, users of Magic Eden saw obscene images and Big Bang Theory stills in place of their NFT artwork.

Magic Eden was alerted to the problem via Twitter, which prompted the marketplace to clarify that a third-party picture caching service it utilizes had been compromised.

The Solana-based NFT platform announced the news on Twitter and claimed it had not been hacked, reassuring users that their assets were unaffected by the obscene pictures. Following the incident being reported on Twitter by a few of the users, who requested an explanation from the social media site, the notification was made.

Magic Eden has been concentrating its efforts on extending to other blockchains and developing its gaming segment because of Solana’s volatility since FTX’s demise.

The marketplace will be able to collaborate with strategic IP owners, top-tier game developers, and up-and-coming creators from the Polygon ecosystem thanks to the company’s integration with the Polygon network, which it revealed ambitions to do in November.

Chris Akhavan, a veteran of the games business who was hired as Magic Eden’s first chief gaming officer last month, will spearhead the expansion of Magic Eden’s gaming collaborations.

Additionally, it just unveiled a rewards program that enables customers to obtain bonuses, advantages, and charge reductions in accordance with their marketplace activity.
