🚨 AI just turned blockchains into a hiding spot for hackers.
A new Chainalysis report (via Bloomberg) is a wake-up call for everyone building at the AI x Web3 intersection 👇
On-chain malware is up 440% in less than a year
Now averaging 11 cases per day, up from just 2
The trigger? Unrestricted open-source AI models that make writing malicious code easy
Here's the twist 🔁
The same immutability that makes blockchains trustworthy also makes them the perfect place to stash malicious payloads. Once it's on-chain, you can't just take it down.
What builders should do now:
✅ Audit everything, every time
✅ Treat on-chain data as untrusted input
✅ Build security in from day one, not after launch
AI and crypto are converging fast. Security has to move faster. 🫡
