According to Anthropic (@AnthropicAI), recent research published on the Frontier Red Team blog demonstrates that AI agents can successfully identify and exploit vulnerabilities in blockchain smart contracts. In simulated tests, AI models uncovered exploits worth $4.6 million, highlighting significant risks for decentralized finance platforms. The study, conducted with MATSprogram and the Anthropic Fellows program, also introduced a new benchmarking standard for evaluating AI's ability to detect smart contract vulnerabilities. This research emphasizes the urgent need for the blockchain industry to adopt advanced AI-driven security measures to mitigate financial threats and protect digital assets (source: @AnthropicAI, Frontier Red Team Blog, December 1, 2025).
