NEAR Intents, a cross-chain protocol, confirmed a $3.8 million hack due to a bug in its smart contract integration with Omni's custody system.

The team has patched the vulnerability, frozen deposits and withdrawals across 11 blockchains, and promised full compensation from its treasury. This incident highlights risks in cross-chain integrations despite strong external defenses and may prompt new security standards.
