The introduction of Anthropic's Mythos model is prompting a significant shift in the crypto industry's approach to security, according to DeFi leaders. The focus is moving from smart contracts to the underlying infrastructure that supports them.
DeFi leaders warn that AI will empower both attackers and defenders, increasing the divide between security-conscious projects and others. Mythos, designed to identify weaknesses across systems, is shifting attention to infrastructure risks, as stated by Paul Vijender, head of security at Gauntlet. He emphasized that the greater threats now lie in areas such as key management systems and oracle networks, which are often overlooked in traditional audits.
