NEAR Intents Says $3.8 Million Exploit Return Included Monero

NEAR Intents recovered about $3.8 million taken in an Oct. 1 exploit, but part of the funds was returned in Monero (XMR) rather than Bitcoin (BTC), General Manager Alex Shevchenko said. The Bitcoin return totaled 34.59 BTC, representing about 78% of the total returned funds. Shevchenko acknowledged that the remainder came through a different route. “Everything was correctly identified on the Bitcoin blockchain,” Shevchenko said. He added that the non-Bitcoin assets had been traded into XMR. The team has replenished its smart contracts with its own funds and is working to convert the returned Monero into Tether (USDT).
