NEAR Intents recovered about $3.8 million stolen in an October 1 exploit where an attacker manipulated a smart contract flaw to inflate token balances using failed deposit calls. The attacker repeated this in 23 failed transactions, creating false balances that were withdrawn through the cross-chain system Omni. NEAR Intents fixed the issue by removing the deposit notification feature, adding monitoring, and implementing an automatic pause, restoring normal operations within 36 hours. A separate vulnerability was found on October 7, for which NEAR Intents paid a $300,000 bounty to a researcher.
