Vitalik Buterin backs crypto 'bunker mode' as AI advances

Original: Vitalik Buterin backs crypto ‘bunker mode’ amid rapid AI math advances

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has endorsed a 'bunker mode' proposal urging the crypto industry to harden its cryptography now, amid warnings that rapid advances in AI-driven mathematics could break wallet security within months. The call, floated by Ethereum researcher Justin Drake, is prompting debate among developers and investors about how quickly the sector can migrate to AI-resistant cryptographic standards.

Why now: Fears that accelerating AI capabilities could soon threaten crypto wallet and signature security have made the proposal a hot topic.
