Can AI Predict DeFi Exploits?
Decentralized finance has always promised a financial system that operates without traditional intermediaries. Smart contracts automate lending, trading, borrowing, staking, and liquidity provision. But the same automation that makes DeFi powerful also creates a dangerous reality: when the code fails, the money can move at machine speed. That raises an increasingly important question: Can artificial intelligence predict a DeFi exploit before an attacker executes it? The short answer is yes—but not with certainty . AI is becoming increasingly capable of identifying suspicious smart-contract behavior, unusual transaction patterns, vulnerable code, and attack signals before they turn into catastrophic losses. At the same time, attackers are gaining access to increasingly sophisticated AI capabilities of their own. The future of DeFi security may therefore become an ongoing contest between AI-powered defense and AI-powered exploitation. The Growing Need for Predictive DeFi Security Crypto ...
