Vitalik Buterin Warns AI Could Weaken Ethereum Cryptography Within Two Years
- —Buterin says AI could weaken lattice cryptography within two years
- —He proposed enlarging RSA keys and signatures from 64 to 400 bytes
- —Ethereum adopted a hash-only roadmap without ML-DSA, Falcon or lattices
- —Researcher Justin Drake says AI will break wallets before quantum computers
Why it matters: The threat targets the cryptographic foundation of Ethereum and other networks, potentially forcing urgent key rotation and protocol upgrades.
