XDAO SECURITY IN THE AGE OF AI: AUDIT BY ANTHROPIC AND TRAIL OF BITS 🛡
You've probably heard of Mythos — Anthropic's new AI model. It is so powerful that it uncovers vulnerabilities in systems that were considered impenetrable for decades and went unnoticed by human experts. Due to its unprecedented capabilities, Mythos is not yet available to the public — Anthropic has restricted access to Claude Mythos Preview under Project Glasswing, granting it to a limited number of major technology, financial, and infrastructure organizations (including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, and CrowdStrike) for cybersecurity purposes.
For example, Mythos identified logic errors in cryptographic library implementations that had been used in banking systems and secure communication protocols since the 1990s. What thousands of cybersecurity professionals considered the gold standard of reliability for 30 years, AI deconstructed in a matter of hours.
Anthropic's technology was also applied to XDAO's infrastructure. Through the security audit firm Trail of Bits, we received a report: Mythos discovered a vulnerability in one of the auxiliary modules on EVM blockchains that could theoretically allow minting of DAO LP tokens. Our team promptly reviewed the report and patched the bug immediately upon confirmation by Trail of Bits specialists.
What the community should know
XDAO's core smart contracts also underwent deep scanning by the AI model. No vulnerabilities were found in the system's core. This once again confirms that the protocol's architecture is soundly designed, and that user funds have always been and remain fully secure.
We thank the Anthropic and Trail of Bits teams for their assistance with the audit and their invaluable contribution to strengthening XDAO's security 🤝❤️ In the world of decentralized finance, AI technologies are becoming our greatest ally.
