🤓 NEAR Intents froze $503K from Bitget hack

Hackers tried to move $50M+ in stolen funds through the protocol - SHIELD blocked most of it at the quote stage, caught $503K during execution, but $166K got through. This sparked a debate about whether NEAR Intents can still call itself permissionless, since the team admitted "permissionless does not mean neutral" and can block accounts or freeze swaps. THORChain, facing the same hack, refused to do the same citing its permissionless design

Permissionless until it's not - the fine print keeps getting finer 😐
