NEAR Intents Hit By $3.8M Exploit In Latest Crypto Platform Hack

The protocol said the contract flaw is fixed and that 11 networks will stay paused for about 12 more hours during repairs.

  • On Thursday, NEAR Intents announced a $3.8 million loss due to a protocol bug, pledging full reimbursement for all affected users at the cross-chain trading platform.
  • The team traced unauthorized withdrawals to a bug in the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure interaction with the NEAR Intents smart contract, causing the security incident.
  • Onchain investigator ZachXBT identified a BNB Chain address collecting about 3.87 million USDT, with about 1.5 million USDT transferred to CoW Protocol and the remainder to unidentified accounts.
  • The team suspended deposits and withdrawals across 11 networks, including Polygon and Avalanche, for roughly 12 hours while repairing the compromised Omni infrastructure.
  • General Manager Alex Shevchenko recently reported attackers attempted to push more than $50 million from the Bitget hack through the protocol, with NEAR Intents promising fuller disclosure.
