Experts weigh AI risk to crypto wallets after Ethereum researcher's warning
- —Drake: AI may recover private keys from public ones before quantum computers do
- —ECDSA, the basis of Bitcoin and Ethereum signatures, is the target
- —Hacken: a practical ECDSA break has not yet been demonstrated
- —Quantus: quantum resources to break ECDSA could arrive as early as 2027
Why it matters: If the threat materializes, capital could shift to blockchains with post-quantum protection and some investors may exit the market.
