The Coldcard Exploit: What Happened & Why Bitcoin is Stronger Than Ever

The recent Coldcard exploit exposed a sobering reality: even security-critical Bitcoin infrastructure can harbor vulnerabilities undetected for years. But the same frontier AI capabilities that could make these weaknesses easier to exploit are giving defenders an unprecedented advantage, allowing researchers to audit massive codebases, uncover hidden attack surfaces, and test assumptions at a scale previously impossible. This session explores how AI could usher in a new era of Bitcoin security. Every wallet, protocol, and piece of infrastructure can be continuously stress-tested before attackers get there first.
