NEAR Intents recovers $3.865 million after Omni bug exploit

  • —Loss totaled about $3.865 million in USDT, affecting only USDT on BNB Smart Chain
  • —The attacker withdrew funds in five transactions over roughly six hours
  • —The bug was patched within an hour; services on 11 networks were paused for about 12 hours
  • —The full amount was returned within 24 hours after a 48-hour deadline
Why it matters: The swift recovery and patch limit reputational damage, but the incident highlights persistent risks in cross-chain bridges and deposit systems.
