Eigen Labs and Shielded Labs Launch HashSmash to Test AI Attacks on Hash Functions
- —Targets include SHA-256, SHA-3, BLAKE3 and Poseidon
- —Anyone can enter by directing an AI agent at the Yukon platform
- —All results are public and reviewed by expert cryptographers
- —Epoch project aims to future-proof Zcash against quantum threats
Why it matters: If AI finds weaknesses in core hash functions, it could affect security across blockchains, ZK systems and the wider internet.
