Mythos Forces Crypto Industry to Rethink Security

The crypto industry is being driven to rethink its security practices due to the emergence of Mythos, a new AI model designed to identify and chain together weaknesses across systems. This has led to a shift in focus from smart contracts to the infrastructure that supports them, including key management systems and cryptographic layers. Aave, a leading lending protocol, is at the center of a broad recovery effort following losses tied to the Kelp DAO exploit, with over $300 million in commitments raised. Meanwhile, the CEO of Alchemy believes that crypto was built for AI agents, not humans, and that it provides the native infrastructure for a new kind of economic actor. A proposed Bitcoin fork, eCash, plans to allocate a portion of Satoshi Nakamoto's copied coins to investors, sparking a property-rights debate.
