GoKawiilButerin endorses warning that AI, not quantum computers, may break crypto wallet security
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly supported researcher Justin Drake's call for the crypto industry to prepare for 'bunker mode,' a gradual migration of funds to new wallets whose public keys remain hidden. Drake's warning followed OpenAI's release of hundreds of new mathematical findings and a separate project where 10,000 AI agents solved the Navier-Stokes equation in 88 hours, prompting fears that elliptic curve cryptography securing wallets could be broken by advanced AI before quantum computers pose a threat.
