Vitalik Buterin backs 'bunker mode' as AI math threatens crypto wallets

Vitalik Buterin backs crypto ‘bunker mode’ amid rapid AI math advances

Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned that AI advances could break the ECDSA cryptography securing crypto wallets before quantum computers do, and urged a gradual migration of funds to fresh addresses. Vitalik Buterin agreed, adding that even lattice-based cryptography may be weakened, and cautioned that botched migrations carry their own risks.
