Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Says AI Won’t Doom Crypto Security
The Ethereum co-founder said AI could help developers mathematically verify entire software systems, turning the same technology powering new attacks into a tool for defense.

The Ethereum co-founder said AI could help developers mathematically verify entire software systems, turning the same technology powering new attacks into a tool for defense.
Buterin said that modern AI could allow developers to verify entire programs instead of checking only the parts they consider security-critical.

Vitalik says AI’s math breakthroughs could make formal verification practical, helping developers build software that is harder to hack.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is pushing back against fears that increasingly capable AI will make cybersecurity unwinnable.
Vitalik Buterin ran Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on his laptop and says local AI now handles a large share of tasks.

Vitalik Buterin rejected claims AI hackers will make cybersecurity unwinnable, arguing formal verification could strengthen software defenses.

AI, paired with formal verification, could revolutionize software security, reshaping trust models and enhancing blockchain resilience.

Buterin's past work on harmful coordination on a blockchain may offer a blueprint for managing increasingly autonomous AI agents.

Crypto could see a new bearish catalyst as AI governance tensions rise ahead of Q4.

Buterin's insights suggest that governance strategies could inform AI safety measures, potentially reshaping how we manage advanced AI systems.

Buterin wants EIP-8288 in I-star, the upgrade after Hegota, and adopting it would make RISC-V Ethereum's canonical instruction set.

A new mempool design could make quantum-safe signatures and private transactions dirt cheap on Ethereum.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has pushed back against predictions that artificial intelligence could trigger a 50% Bitcoin crash within two years. The debate began after Silicon Valley investor and AI-risk commentator Liron Shapiro said he sees a 50% probability that Bitcoin will fall more than 50% over the next two years because AI undermines what […]

Buterin says Bitcoin can handle network-layer attacks without needing the kind of broad social consensus required for deeper protocol changes.

The 60% applies to an undated outcome for all three primitives; only at least one, probably SNARKs, is tied to decade-end.
Vitalik Buterin rejects a 50% AI-driven Bitcoin crash call and says 90% of his net worth already takes the opposite side.

Vitalik Buterin says crypto holdings worth 90% of his net worth put him against a forecast of an AI-driven Bitcoin crash within two years.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has rejected a prediction that artificial intelligence could undermine Bitcoin’s security badly enough to trigger a 50% price crash.

Host of the Doom Debates podcast, Liron Shapira, put a 50% confidence claim on the table. BTC prices could crash more than 50% in the next two years because AI will undermine what people believe are Bitcoin’s security guarantees. Shapira is not necessarily predicting a broken hash function; he is

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says he is taking “the opposite side” of a forecast that artificial intelligence will cut bitcoin’s price in half within two years, and he has roughly 90% of his net worth riding on it. The Wager on the Table Liron Shapira, an angel investor who hosts the Doom Debates podcast and […]
