Anthropic tested whether artificial intelligence could hack blockchain smart contracts, and in simulation the agents were able to steal $4.6M. The study focused on Ethereum style blockchains and did not examine Bitcoin, which uses a simpler and more secure design. https://t.co/KzM7bzNEge ...

Anthropic tested whether artificial intelligence could hack blockchain smart contracts, and in simulation the agents discovered $4.6M in vulnerabilities. The study focused on Ethereum and BNB chains and did not test Bitcoin, which uses a more simple and secure design. https://t.co/Kms8H5B6XZ ...

New on our Frontier Red Team blog: We tested whether AIs can exploit blockchain smart contracts.In simulated testing, AI agents found $4.6M in exploits.The research (with @MATSprogram and the Anthropic Fellows program) also developed a new benchmark: https://t.co/QpGPMqlDRG ...

Key Points Meme coins, especially political ones, are extremely speculative and volatile. Cryptocurrencies with utility have a better chance of success. 10 stocks we like better than Official Trump › The Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) and Melania Meme (CRYPTO: MELANIA) meme coins surged recently on the back of news that lawmakers had reached a deal to end the government shutdown.

Oracle Integration & Data Accessibility - MegaETH integrates Chainlink data streams as a native precompile, placing the oracle within the execution environment [1] - This native oracle integration aims to eliminate information asymmetry in DeFi by providing simultaneous, real-time market data access to all users, regardless of location or status [1][2][7] - Chainlink's infrastructure secures $100 billion and $25 trillion transaction volume [1] Validation & Decentralization - MegaETH employs stateless validation, where validators receive a "witness" (cryptographic proof of data) instead of storing terabytes of state [2] - Validation requires minimal hardware (2 cores, 1GB RAM, zero storage), enabling broader participation and addressing the decentralization challenges faced by other high-performance chains [4] - The sequencer pushes 100 thousand transactions per second (100k tps) [2] Security & Client Diversity - MegaETH utilizes dual-client validation, with both MegaETH's stateless validators and Pi Squared's KEVM independently validating each block [5] - Disagreement between the two clients results in instant rejection, enhancing security [5] Implications for DeFi & Web3 - The integration of native Chainlink and stateless validation removes infrastructure-related excuses for poor user experience or scalability in DeFi applications [8] - The industry anticipates that the removal of technical constraints will foster creativity and drive the development of consumer applications that can compete with Web2 experiences [9]

On November 4th, Polkadot is consolidating its core system services into Asset Hub, turning it into the ecosystem’s superchain: Polkadot Hub.That's one coherent environment where all these work together, powered by Elastic Scaling, natively interoperable w/ Polkadot's rollups:→ assets→ staking→ bridges→ smart contracts, yes, smart contractsThe earlier design created fragmentation because these services were separated across multiple chains.Beyond unifying infra, this makes Polkadot Hub the gateway to the br ...
