Seems AI is getting frighteningly good at hacking smart contracts
New research from Anthropic shows that modern AI models can now spot and exploit blockchain vulnerabilities almost as well as professional hackers
⚫️ On contracts hacked after spring 2025, the model would have “stolen” up to $4.6M in simulations
⚫️ On 2,849 new contracts with no known issues, the AI found two fresh bugs and could have made $3.7K
⚫️ Profitability of AI-driven exploits is doubling every 1.5 months
⚫️ Cost to run an AI vulnerability scan is roughly $1 per contract
⚫️In one year, AI systems learned to find over half of the vulnerabilities humans exploited in real attacks
Are bots are learning faster than the markets?
