AI math breakthrough sparks crypto wallet security debate
What happened
On October 8, The Decoder reported that two Ethereum researchers warned AI-assisted math could, in the worst case, break the signature systems used by crypto wallets within months. The claim set off a debate over how fast wallet security could fail. Justin Drake called on the industry to prepare for "bunker mode" and suggested moving funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction, since signing exposes the public key. The report is a warning about a potential risk; it does not say wallet signature systems have been broken.
