OpenAI Launches "EVMbench": Testing AI's Ability to "Ensure Smart Contract Security"

As the security risks in cryptocurrency continue to rise, OpenAI is officially entering the blockchain security field. Led by CEO Sam Altman, OpenAI announced the launch of a new testing framework called "EVMbench," aimed at evaluating whether artificial intelligence has the practical ability to "understand, detect, and even repair" vulnerabilities in cryptocurrency smart contracts. OpenAI stated that EVMbench will focus on the security issues of smart contracts on Ethereum and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chains. The ultimate goal is to establish a quantifiable and comparable evaluation standard for AI systems in the field of blockchain security. The so-called "smart contracts" refer to self-executing code deployed on the blockchain, widely supporting decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending protocols, derivatives protocols, and various on-chain financial applications. However, once these contracts are deployed, they are vulnerable to...
