## Resource

An AI model uncovered a critical four-year-old bug in Zcash that could’ve let attackers mint unlimited tokens, triggering a 38% crash in its value overnight. While the flaw has been patched, the incident has ignited debate: is AI exposing vulnerabilities a death knell for crypto—or a wake-up call to build smarter, more secure systems? Some see it as a threat, others as a turning point. The solution? Formal verification—mathematically proving code is error-free. As AI grows more powerful, the crypto world must adapt, using its own tools to fortify the foundations of digital finance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
