Vitalik Buterin backs crypto 'bunker mode' as AI advances

Original: Vitalik Buterin backs crypto ‘bunker mode’ amid rapid AI math advances

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has endorsed a 'bunker mode' proposal warning that rapid advances in AI mathematics could break cryptographic wallet security within months. The idea, floated by Ethereum researcher Justin Drake, urges the crypto community to prepare defenses against AI-powered attacks on current encryption before such capabilities arrive.

Why now: AI progress is accelerating fears that existing cryptographic protections underpinning crypto wallets could soon be compromised.
