Near Intent claims over 500 million quote rejections... request count differs from transaction value

NEAR Intents, the cross-chain asset swap service built on NEAR Protocol, has claimed it rejected more than 500 million quote requests tied to addresses linked to the Binance hack, according to statements from Alex Shevchenko reported by AMBCrypto. The disclosure did not specify the counting period or how duplicate requests were handled, and quote requests are only price-preview or deposit-address steps rather than executed trades, so the figure does not directly measure how much capital was shielded. NEAR Intents' API distinguishes dry:true preview calls from dry:false requests that generate deposit addresses, meaning request counts can far exceed actual transaction volume. The claim matters because it positions NEAR Intents as a front-line filter for cross-chain flows during a major exchange breach, but the headline number overstates the protected value without clearer methodology. Watch for NEAR to publish time-bounded, deduplicated request data and for actual swap volumes and total value locked on NEAR Intents to confirm whether the rejected quotes translated into meaningful avoided exposure.
