- 1Ethereum's Justin Drake warns AI could threaten wallet cryptography●Ethereum researcher Justin Drake urges a gradual move to fresh wallet addresses, warning AI-assisted math could threaten
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake is urging users to gradually move to fresh wallet addresses, warning that AI-assisted advances in mathematics could break ECDSA, the signature scheme securing Ethereum, sooner than expected. Vitalik Buterin agrees the risk is real but cautions against panic. No practical attack has been demonstrated yet.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has endorsed researcher Justin Drake's proposal for a controlled migration of users to fresh wallet addresses. Drake argues that advances in AI pose a growing risk to ECDSA cryptography, a threat he says exceeds near-term quantum computing concerns. Both figures urge a gradual transition rather than a sudden switch, with lattice-based cryptography among the suggested defenses.
