THORChain and NEAR diverge on handling Bitget hack funds
- —Bitget hack on Sept. 24 drained $387.5 million, with some funds routed to THORChain
- —NEAR Intents blocked $503,000 of $50 million in flagged flows; $166,000 passed through
- —THORChain halted its network in May after a $10 million exploit but does not filter addresses
- —NEAR waived its share of the Bitget recovery bounty
Why it matters: The debate will shape whether permissionless protocols are expected to block stolen assets or preserve neutrality.
