Ethereum $ETH researcher Justin Drake is warning the crypto industry to prepare for “bunker mode.” He believes advances in AI could accelerate mathematical breakthroughs that eventually threaten ECDSA, the cryptography securing major blockchains. His worst-case scenario? Private keys becoming recoverable in “months, not years.” Drake says there is no reason to panic, but large holders and institutions should start gradually moving funds to fresh addresses with unexposed public keys. Nothing has been broken today. But if AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs move faster than expected, the cryptographic assumptions protecting billions in crypto could face a completely new threat. The industry may need to prepare before that threat becomes reality.
