NEAR Intents Says It Froze $503,000 in Bitget Hack Funds

The notable detail is the split between what was stopped and what had already moved through: roughly two-thirds of the traced funds never cleared the swap layer, while the rest did. That gap is the real story for anyone assessing how defensible intent-based infrastructure is during an active incident. Bitget's decision to forgo its bounty share also signals that cooperation between exchanges and protocol teams is being treated as reputational currency, not just a cost. Whether that norm holds as more of these traces play out is the open question.
