Vitalik Buterin just raised a new threat to crypto security... and it’s not quantum computers. It’s AI. ⚠️
The Ethereum co-founder warned that AI-accelerated mathematical breakthroughs could seriously weaken lattice-based cryptography within the next two years. That matters because systems such as ML-DSA and fully homomorphic encryption rely on lattice mathematics, while ECDSA protects many existing crypto wallets.
Buterin isn’t telling users to panic or rush into new wallets. Instead, he says the industry should reduce exposure to cryptography vulnerable to both AI and quantum attacks, with Ethereum increasingly exploring hash-based security. The big question: can crypto upgrade its defenses fast enough? 🔐#VitalikWarnsAICouldWeakenCryptographySecurity
