AI 数学进展引发以太坊研究者对钱包安全风险的讨论

AI math breakthroughs have Ethereum researchers debating how fast wallet security could collapse

两位以太坊研究者警告,AI 辅助数学在最坏情况下可能在数月内破解加密钱包使用的签名系统。Justin Drake 建议将资金转移到从未签署过交易的地址;Vitalik Buterin 赞同做好准备,但提醒不要仓促迁移,并指出目前还没有人在实践中攻破现行 ECDSA 签名方案。

Two leading Ethereum researchers warn that AI-assisted math could, in the worst case, break the signature system used by crypto wallets within months. Justin Drake called on the blockchain industry in a post on X to prepare a "bunker mode."

He recommends moving funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. Signing reveals the public key, which an attacker could theoretically use to derive the private key and steal the funds. As long as only the public key's hash is visible, the funds remain protected because the key cannot be recovered from that hash.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin agreed in a reply on X but warned against acting too fast. He said he's lost more money to botched migrations than to hacks. Long-term, Buterin argues for an architecture that relies as much as possible on hash functions alone, since even lattice-based schemes, often considered quantum-safe, could be weakened by advances in AI.

So far, no one has actually broken the current ECDSA signature scheme in practice.
