And we hope, if humanity survives, to do many more of these podcasts with you in the future.

It's always a treat to have you, Justin Drake.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Gotta let you know, of course, crypto is risky.

So is the real world.

You could lose what you put in, but we are headed west.

This is the frontier.

It's not for everyone, but we're glad you're with us on the bankless journey.

Thanks a lot.

Bankless Nation, we are here with Alpen Uxololu.

He is an investment and a research partner at Paradigm.

Also the co-author of a paper titled EVM Bench, an open benchmark for smart contract security agents written in collaboration with OpenAI to measure the ability of AI agents to just detect or patch or exploit smart contract vulnerabilities.

We're going to talk about the way that AI and AI capabilities are going to impact our crypto ecosystem, our smart contracts.

Alpen, welcome to Bankless.

Hi, thanks for having me.

I want to start off this podcast with a very big question.

How at risk are we from AI?

How large of a threat does AI smart contract capabilities pose to our industry?

Yeah, I think what you're saying is in the long term, we get something approaching perfect security.
