Part of the resistance. Cascading down the rabbit hole of crypto and having a blast!

@Matt_Hougan And when they do that, maybe it’s time to be concerned.

@Melt_Dem Can you be more specific?

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@malikonchain BTW, who's this last guy?

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@malikonchain And yet this doesn't age well. Most of them have been proven to dump their bags on their own audience. Personally, I've been in crypto fro 3 cycles, and while I still tune into a few of these folks, there are only two who haven't destroyed their credibility in my mind.

What's crazier is the hackers apparently bought the reseller and made them sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep their mouth shut.

So many things wrong here...

Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash.

Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase).

Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets.

IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster).

Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot.

Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time?

Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.)

Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once.

Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case.

I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026).

Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS.

Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security.

The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.

@MikeMin60329695 @altcap @InvestAmerica24 @WhiteHouse @TrumpAccounts Agree 100%

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@nickygoooo @ZssBecker I thought the same.

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@stuckinbrazil Where are you? Curitiba?

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@cinamarina Sending love. Good luck!

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@cinamarina Marina. You haven’t failed. You just haven’t reached your goal yet because your prioritized your father over your short-term career goal. You’ll get there. Keep going. Where are you taking him in Brazil? I’m in Balneário Camboriú. I’m rebuilding a career after choosing family too

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@emmaalj Yay you, Emma. Congrats!

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@Sellingvol Marty, sent you a DM.

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@Sellingvol Understood, Marty. Rio's a wonderful city. Would be there myself if I didn't have a baby. Good luck. Hope to meet you soon at one of your events. Cheers, A

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@CryptoJulzss Thank you.

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@friedmandave @Melt_Dem Now, that is classic.

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@Peter_thoc @grok, what do you think of this theory?

[Allison Cryptoland @allisonne]

@milesdeutscher And then what?
