🚨 VITALIK WARNS: AI COULD BREAK CRYPTO FASTER THAN QUANTUM
Vitalik says users should NOT rush to move funds, but should take AI-accelerated math seriously.
Key risks:
• ECDSA could break faster than expected
• Lattice-based crypto (ML-DSA, FHE) — thought to be quantum-safe — may also weaken in next 2 years
• Hash-based schemes (SPHINCS+, SHA, BLAKE) = safer
His advice:
✓ Use fresh addresses that never sent a tx (hide public key)
✓ Multisig: use OFF-CHAIN sigs, not on-chain
✓ Privacy: keep encrypted notes OFF-chain via 3rd party
✓ Be careful with migrations - he lost more to bad migrations than hacks
Context: Justin Drake said ECDSA could be broken within months in worst case after OpenAI solved Navier-Stokes with 10k AI agents in 88 hours.
We prepped for Q-Day. AI-Day might come first.
