An incident like this always catches my attention, especially when the issue directly involves a smart contract and the loss amounts to approximately $3.8 million. What stands out is that NEAR Intents has stated they’ve identified the vulnerability, patched the contract, and committed to fully reimbursing all affected funds. They’re also collaborating with security teams to trace the stolen funds. But in DeFi, I think this serves as a clear reminder: no matter how large a protocol is, technical risks will always exist. After an incident, what I care about most isn’t just “how much was lost,” but rather where the root cause lies and how the team responds afterward. What do you think is more important after incidents like this—robust security from the start, or how the project reacts when something goes wrong?
