NEAR Intents currently has Solana swaps temporarily unavailable Onchain sleuthing identified two @near_intents transactions that likely funded the Drift Protocol attacker's wallet 8 days before today's ~$270M exploit + a ~$20.15k swap of 31 BNB to 232.27 SOL + a ~$20.30k swap of 9.92 ETH to 31.12 BNB Interesting is that the funding happened prior to NEAR confidential swaps activation... Any amounts swapped post-activation would likely be much harder (if not impossible) to trace I feel sorry for the Drift team, its users, and everybody else affected As a privacy advocate, strong NEAR supporter, and heavy user, it creates an interesting opportunity to battle-test the confidential function, raising some questions: + has the attacker used near today with confidential mode on? + will anyone be able to find and trace these transactions? It's also a good validation of NEAR Intents as an efficient cross-chain tool, as it was one of the attacker's choices, and this person or group is acting like they know what they are doing FWIW → Good tools will inevitably be used by evil people to do evil things, but it doesn't make the tool evil by itself -- as the value they generate can bring huge benefits to good people using them for good things
