According to Bankless, hackers linked to Bitget attempted to move more than $50 million through NEAR Intents but were stopped. The operation involved trying to push funds using the platform’s intent mechanism. NEAR’s system rejected the transaction attempts without revealing any private details about the actors or their methods. No information was disclosed that would compromise user privacy, and the block occurred solely at the protocol level.
The incident illustrates how NEAR’s intent architecture can filter unauthorized large transfers while maintaining confidentiality. Authorities involved only the NEAR network; no external party accessed or published sensitive data about the hackers or Bitget users. The outcome shows that protocol‑level enforcement was sufficient to halt the move without breaching privacy standards.
