DeFi isn't safe anymore because AI is becoming 'superhuman' at hacking, security chief warns
CoinDesk
OpenZeppelin CEO Manuel Aráoz warns that AI coding agents have become so advanced at finding vulnerabilities that all DeFi platforms are now at risk.Summary
Manuel Aráoz, CEO of OpenZeppelin, has issued a stark warning that decentralized finance (DeFi) is fundamentally unsafe due to the rise of 'superhuman' AI hacking agents. These tools can identify smart contract vulnerabilities faster than human defenders can patch them, creating a massive security asymmetry where attackers only need one success to drain funds. As evidenced by over $1.1 billion in recent hacks and warnings from firms like Anthropic regarding advanced AI capabilities, the industry must re-evaluate its security models which were historically designed to counter human-paced threats.
