AI-driven math advances could break crypto security within years, warns Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned that AI-accelerated mathematical progress might weaken current cryptographic protections, such as lattice-based cryptography, within two years. This poses a risk to digital assets as AI could exploit structured cryptographic systems, potentially breaking wallets and encryption faster than quantum computers. Ethereum is responding by adopting a hash-only security approach to mitigate these threats. Experts suggest rotating keys and moving assets to safer addresses as precautionary measures against AI-driven attacks on crypto networks.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's warning on AI risks comes as 11 of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang rose while 38 fell today. For readers following the crypto market, here is Pluang's snapshot as of Oct 09, 2026 18:22 WIB: Basic Attention Token (BAT) gained 12.52% to Rp2.042 with a typical hold time of 93 days and 97% sell orders; Algorand (ALGO) dropped 12.35% to Rp2.093 with a 129-day hold and 73% buy orders; Curve DAO Token (CRV) fell 11.63% to Rp6.118 with a 62-day hold and 90% sell orders.
