- —The refutation was found on Oct. 16 and formally verified in Lean a day later
- —Impagliazzo, Paturi and Williams declined to certify the result
- —Anthropic posted a competing 3-SAT algorithm on Oct. 26
- —Ethereum's cryptography does not rely on the ETH conjecture
Why it matters: The price did not move, but the episode showed how quickly AI jargon can trigger panic in crypto markets.
