AI attack success rate exceeds 50%, quantum threats intensify, smart contract security on high alert

[Crypto World] There’s a pretty alarming study recently—AI agents can now breach over half of vulnerable smart contracts, with a success rate shooting up to 56%. What’s even crazier is that these AIs have also discovered brand-new zero-day vulnerabilities in two contracts that were previously considered safe.

The rate at which their attack capabilities are growing is even more outrageous—roughly doubling every 42 days, which is way faster than Moore’s Law.

On the other hand, there’s an even bigger hidden risk brewing: quantum computers. Because of the blockchain’s public ledger and decentralized architecture, implementing quantum-resistant solutions is exceptionally challenging. The combination of these two threats is posing an unprecedented challenge to the security of the entire crypto ecosystem.
