Buterin and Drake Warn AI Could Weaken Crypto Wallet Security Sooner Than Expected

  • —Drake said AI could break ECDSA, used by Bitcoin and Ethereum, within months
  • —Buterin said rushed wallet migrations are riskier than the threat itself
  • —Recommended using addresses with no signing history and rotating multisig keys after each operation
  • —Buterin called for stronger safety margins in lattice-based schemes and more hash-based methods
Why it matters: The debate affects every BTC and ETH holder: post-quantum readiness could become a key factor for wallets and protocols.
