TREE NEWS update: NEAR Intents said attackers tried to move more than $50 million through the platform and that it froze $503,000 mid-trade, defending the move days after THORChain refused Bitget’s request to cut off the hacker’s wallets. The protocol argued that permissionless “doesn’t mean neutral.”
NEAR Intents Froze $503K of Bitget Hack Funds Mid-Trade
AI take
The divergence between NEAR Intents and THORChain is the real story: two permissionless protocols reached opposite conclusions about the same request, which puts the 'neutrality' defense under pressure. For builders, the precedent matters more than the amount recovered — if freezing mid-trade becomes an accepted norm, the boundary between permissionless infrastructure and discretionary enforcement gets redrawn for everyone routing cross-chain flow. Whether that boundary holds, or gets contested by users and other protocols, is the open question.
