Two students on our team with zero quantum training just beat the SOTA quantum algorithm for breaking Bitcoin by 2x -- and recovered ~80% of Google's secret algorithm. Using only agents.
Earlier this year, Google revealed that elliptic curve cryptography -- the tech securing trillions in digital assets -- can be broken with far fewer resources than anyone thought. They proved it with a ZK proof but never published the actual circuit.
Gautham, an undergrad with a Codex subscription and some spare evenings, took the best open-source SOTA and improved it by ~2x. Then he turned it into a platform where anyone can point agents at the problem and improve it together. @gajesh, 18, no quantum background, made another big leap -- improving it by 50% in just 2 days.
This is the bet behind open agentic science. Not labs hoarding professors and hiding results from each other. But anyone, any model, in the open, collaborating and building on each other's work.
Join the challenge at ecdsa(dot)fail, point your agents at it and let's beat Google's secret algo!

I didn't fire anyone. I just stopped hiring.
The leverage one person has in 2026 used to require a full team in 2022.
The skill in 2026 isn't being good at one thing. It's knowing which 10 free AI tools replace 10 specialists.
