Buterin: AI could break lattice cryptography within two years

  • —Buterin said there is a 'good chance' lattice security could be compromised within two years
  • —ML-DSA and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) are named as at-risk systems
  • —ECDSA risk grows as public keys become exposed on-chain
  • —He advised preferring hash-based signatures and using addresses that have never transacted
Why it matters: The warning affects wallet security and the post-quantum schemes Ethereum and other networks are adopting.
