NEAR Intents said it paused its service earlier today after detecting a security incident tied to a vulnerability in how Omni’s deposit and withdrawal infrastructure interacted with NEAR Intents smart contracts. An initial report put total losses at about $3.8 million. The project said affected funds will be fully reimbursed and that the contract-side issue has already been fixed. NEAR added that NEAR Intents and near.com are expected to resume operations within one hour. Withdrawals for assets connected to chains including BNB Chain, Polygon and TON will remain suspended for 12 hours until fixes on the Omni infrastructure side are completed. The team also said users holding assets from those chains inside NEAR Intents will be able to trade them into other assets once the service is back online. According to the statement, the incident has been reported to law enforcement, and NEAR is working with security and blockchain analytics partners to trace fund flows and seek recovery. A more detailed report is expected in the coming days.
