NEAR Protocol ($NEAR ): Intents recovers $3.8M after exploiter ultimatum
NEAR Intents, a project on the NEAR Protocol, reported that $3.8 million was stolen from its funds. The exploiter later returned the full $3.8 million, restoring the project’s original balance.
The repayment occurred after the perpetrator was identified and given a strict 48‑hour deadline to respond to the ultimatum issued by the NEAR community and project team, which the exploiter met.
This resolution highlights the protocol’s ability to quickly address security breaches, reinforces trust among developers and users, and signals that robust governance can deter future attacks on NEAR assets. The incident underscores the importance of rapid response mechanisms within decentralized finance.
