Solana Rejects 'Bunker Mode' as Researchers Warn AI Could Crack Crypto Cryptography
- —Solana: signing keys derive from a seed via hashing, and the seed never appears onchain, enabling account migration
- —Creech says a working proof of concept already exists: Anza's Proof of Knowledge Seed protocol
- —Drake warns ECDSA could become breakable in 'months, not years' due to AI advances in mathematics
- —Buterin cautions against rushed migrations, saying he lost more money to botched moves than to all hacks combined
Why it matters: The debate shapes how major networks would protect funds if public-key cryptography is broken — Solana has a contingency plan, while Bitcoin and Ethereum do not.
