NEAR Protocol Hit for $3.8M as Bug Exposes Cross-Chain Vulnerability
NEAR Protocol recently suffered an exploit that resulted in the theft of $3.8 million in assets.
The vulnerability was linked to a bug in its NEAR Intents infrastructure, which is used for cross-chain operations.
The team has since implemented a security patch and is working with partners to recover lost funds.
Deposits and withdrawals will remain suspended for 12 hours as the protocol focuses on asset recovery.
