Near Intents blocks $50 million in Bitget hacker swaps, here’s what happened

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

Crypto swap platform NEAR Intents calls itself permissionless, open and uncensorable.

Yet it slammed the doors when stolen funds from Bitget tried to move through the protocol.

The attackers who siphoned off $388 million from Bitget exchange last week tried to move more than $50 million through NEAR Intents, a service that lets users exchange assets across different blockchains, according to a report by NEAR Intent’s general manager, Alex Shevchenko.

The protocol’s “SHIELD” system blocked most transfers and froze $503,000 midway through the transaction, taking a different approach from THORChain, which has resisted the exchange’s request to block attacker addresses.

About $166,000 passed through, while the restricted funds await a legal and recovery process, he said.

The larger figure represents attempted transfers rather than money recovered.

Shevchenko said duplicate attempts had been removed from the tally and rejected funds subsequently went to other providers.

The figures are estimates, however, and could differ from the actual amounts by up to roughly 10%.

“NEAR Intents routinely processes $100M+ of a crosschain trading volume in a day.

Yet in this case, only a negligible fraction of the hacked funds were flowing through us,” he said.
