NEAR Intents exploit exposes cross-chain routing and custody risk

NEAR Intents reportedly suffered an approximately $3.8M exploit linked to an Omni–Intents handoff failure, prompting an eleven-network withdrawal halt. Rapid shutdown, patching, service restoration, and a reimbursement commitment suggest a contained response, but bots should independently verify resumed withdrawals, liquidity, integration controls, and contagion before routing funds through the system.
