NEAR Intents recovers $3.8 million from BNB Chain vault exploit
The $3.8 million taken from a BNB Chain vault serving NEAR Intents was recovered instead of becoming a permanent user loss. NEAR Intents halted services, patched the contract-side vulnerability, and paused deposits and withdrawals across multiple networks after detecting the incident.
The bug sat in Omni’s deposit and withdrawal infrastructure, which accepted valid signed authorizations without properly reconciling the funds. NEAR Intents pledged full compensation and reported the incident to law enforcement; a recovery report said the money was back within roughly 24 hours.
