Buterin: Blockchain Is the 'Front Line' of Cyber Threats the Whole Internet Will Face

  • —Buterin spoke at the OKX NOW Global Product and Ecosystem Conference in Singapore on October 6
  • —He called blockchain the 'front line' of cyber threats because it holds real assets
  • —AI agents could execute transactions but may be tricked by hidden instructions
  • —Security must cover software, wallets, hardware and the user interface, not just the chain
Why it matters: The warning shapes how wallets and AI agents will be built, though it has no direct near-term impact on ETH price.
