DFINITY founder Dom has accused NEAR Intents of using proprietary cryptographic technology licensed exclusively to the Internet Computer. The disputed component involves a threshold ECDSA algorithm used for cross-chain asset custody and transaction signing, which DFINITY claims accelerates signing speed by approximately 3x compared to other solutions. Dom stated that NEAR deployed the technology on only 8 servers, contradicting its advertised decentralization and security standards. He indicated potential legal liability for unauthorized use and expressed hope that both parties could resolve the dispute, alleging that DFINITY and the ICP community have been harmed by the alleged infringement.
