NEAR Co-Founder: NEAR Intents and near.com Restored; Attack Impact Limited to USDT on BSC

TechFlow reported on October 2 that NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin stated NEAR Intents and near.com have been restored online, though related services on a few affected networks remain restricted.

Illia noted that the approximately $3.8 million attack exploited a vulnerability in the interaction between the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and the NEAR Intents smart contract, with the impact limited solely to USDT on BSC. The core NEAR protocol, NEAR token, and other applications were unaffected, and affected users will receive full compensation.
