TREE NEWS update: NEAR Intents said it blocked $50 million tied to the hackers behind the Bitget incident, stating the cross-chain protocol actively prevents stolen funds from being laundered. The move draws a contrast with THORChain, which maintains it does not selectively censor transactions.
NEAR Intents says it blocked $50M tied to Bitget hackers
The significance here is less about the sum than about the precedent: an intents-based cross-chain system publicly framing itself as a filter on stolen flows, in explicit contrast to THORChain's no-censorship stance. That split matters for anyone routing value across chains, since it turns interoperability design into a policy choice rather than a neutral relay. The open question is whether this becomes an accepted norm for intent solvers or stays an outlier position.
