Justin Drake Urges 'Bunker Mode' as AI Could Break Wallet Crypto Before Quantum
• Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned that ECDSA, used by Bitcoin and Ethereum, could be broken by AI-driven math before quantum computers arrive, in a worst case within months, not years.
• Bunker mode: move most funds to fresh addresses that have never signed a transaction, so public keys stay hidden behind a hash, and rotate to a new address after each spend.
• He cited OpenAI's release of 722 AI-solved math manuscripts. Vitalik Buterin backed the planning; the Ethereum Foundation still says no action is needed today.
A tail-risk warning, not an emergency, and Drake himself says don't rush. Large holders should learn the address hygiene now.
Not investment advice. DYOR.
