TREE NEWS update: NEAR Intents has recovered the entire $3.8 million stolen from the protocol after the exploiter returned the full sum. The funds came back after the exploiter was identified and given 48 hours to respond to an ultimatum. No further details on the attacker’s identity or how the return was arranged were disclosed.
NEAR Intents Recovers Full $3.8M After 48-Hour Ultimatum to Exploiter
AI take
The full recovery, achieved through identification and a short ultimatum rather than a public bounty or on-chain negotiation, points to a playbook where attribution pressure substitutes for technical recovery. That matters for other teams weighing how to respond to exploits, since the outcome here may encourage similar ultimatum-style approaches. What remains undisclosed — the attacker's identity and how the return was arranged — is also the part that determines whether this is repeatable or a one-off.
