يمكن لـ Mythos AI السري الخاص بـ Anthropic اكتشاف عيوب العقود الذكية للعملات المشفرة بسرعة الآلة، ويمكن أن تختفي المليارات في التمويل اللامركزي بسرعة

Anthropic's Mythos threat to the crypto industry can trigger hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in sudden, irreversible losses. That is the stark reality facing digital asset markets following Anthropic’s quiet unveiling of Claude Mythos Preview, a vulnerability-seeking AI model the San Francisco startup admits is simply too dangerous to release to the public. Deddy David, chief executive of blockchain security firm Cyvers, told CryptoSlate about the catastrophic scale of the problem, noting that the financial exposure of AI-driven exploits in crypto ranges from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars.

Dec 3, 2025 · Gino Matos He said: “If AI can identify vulnerabilities at scale across core internet infrastructure, crypto will be one of the first markets to feel the impact.” If those estimates are correct, the scope of potential damage is staggering. Moreover, the scale of this new threat isn’t just about bad actors writing slightly better phishing emails or generating malicious code snippets. Instead, it is about an autonomous system capable of finding deep, emergent logic flaws across smart contracts, wallets, and cross-chain bridges before human auditors even know where to look. For years, crypto founders and security researchers have obsessed over “Q-Day,” the theoretical future date when a quantum computer becomes powerful enough to shatter blockchain cryptography. But Mythos recent launch is forcing a pivot. Security experts have noted that the most immediate threat to digital assets is no longer a future attack on cryptography. It is an AI system that can already uncover exploitable flaws in the very software layer the industry depends on. Related Reading What are cross-chain bridges and why do they matte
