Vitalik Buterin says Al could seriously weaken parts of crypto's math within two years.
He posted on October 7 that there is a good chance lattice-based cryptography takes serious hits from the next two years of Al math. Lattices sit under ML-DSA and fully homomorphic encryption, the tools built to survive quantum computers. The old assumption was curves break, hashes stay safe, lattices stay safe. He is no longer sure about the lattice half.
ECDSA is the other risk. That is the signature system $BTC and $ETH wallets use. Ethereum researcher Justin Drake said Al could break it before quantum computers do, and in a worst case within months. The danger is higher once a public key is already onchain.
Buterin was clear on what not to do. "I don't recommend anyone scramble to move their funds to new wallets today." He wants less exposure to quantum-vulnerable and Al-vulnerable schemes, and a preference for hash-based designs where they work.
Two years is his window for lattices, not a date when wallets fail. The warning is to prepare. The instruction is not to rush.
