The Mines of Dalarnia team has released an update aimed at securing player assets by taking a snapshot that disconnects the game client from the current NFTs, according to an announcement by the game's development team. The team has taken a snapshot of all equipment, lands, and Canar-Es and converted them to in-game, off-chain assets. Players can still use these items in the game and in off-chain activities, but trading the original NFTs will no longer be reflected in the game. However, the items will be able to become NFTs again once migration is complete. DAR and Resources are not impacted by this change and remain functional on-chain.

This has been done as a result of a recent security issue that the team has discovered in the game’s official marketplace backend, which they have labeled as one that could “potentially become problematic” in a recent Medium post. Because of this, they have decided to migrate to a new blockchain network, with the migration said to take about 2-3 months, prompting them to secure user assets by doing this snapshot update.

The development team notes that the installation of this update is required to continue playing Mines of Dalarnia. PC and Mac installers are available for download on the Mines of Dalarnia website.

Other major changes in this update include disabling the ability to do paid digs on lands, crafting new equipment using resources, and managing or replenishing land plots. Players are advised to see the full announcement for more details on the changes. You can check out the official post here.
