NEAR Price Dips 9% Following $3.8 Million NEAR Intents Exploit

NEAR Intents has temporarily suspended services after a security vulnerability in its Omni deposit-and-withdrawal system led to an estimated $3.8 million loss. The team has patched the smart contract bug and pledged full compensation to affected users. While the NEAR blockchain itself remains secure, the incident has impacted cross-chain operations across several networks including BSC, Polygon, and TON. The price of NEAR dropped over 9% as the ecosystem faces a test following a period of rapid growth.
