Anthropic AI model reshapes crypto security focus

Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, is compelling the cryptocurrency industry to shift its security focus from smart contract vulnerabilities to deeper infrastructure risks. This advanced AI can simulate adversaries and chain together minor weaknesses across interconnected protocols, revealing how isolated flaws can lead to systemic, cascading failures. DeFi leaders anticipate AI will enhance both offensive and defensive capabilities, necessitating continuous, AI-driven auditing and creating a wider divide between security-conscious and less-prepared projects. The model highlights risks in key management, bridges, and oracle networks, areas often overlooked by traditional audits.
