Ryan Sean Adams

Yeah, yeah, we are in the just do things era.

I wasn't Alpen expecting this to be such a philosophical episode to open this episode up.

But now I think we can kind of like corral ourselves and point our agency towards the topic at hand, which is what happens when people feel high agency with AI towards the security of our smart contracts?

Is it worth talking about like what kind of contracts are like most at risk or least at risk?

Is there some sort of like category or knowledge landscape that we can understand that when AIs have very high smart contract agency that we should be paying attention to certain kinds of smart contracts over others?

Is there a conversation there?

Right.

So the OG contracts that have had a ton of Lindy and a ton of value locked over time that have been tested by the market are like safer in the near term.

But nonetheless, the people managing those contracts will still need to have agency to be on the defensive to make sure that they are winning the arms race against the offensive types.

Right.

And then like the long tail, as you said, the long tail of contracts, testing and prod will no longer be a thing because when the cost to exploit a $1,000 contract is like, you know, $10 to $50 of tokens, then those contracts simply won't exist.

Somebody will write a bot that says, hey, Claude, OpenClaw, go hack me some contracts.

And then that thing will actually have the capacity to do that because the people that

didn't really think too hard about their security because they didn't need to think too hard about their security, those people will not have a good day.

Let's talk about EVM Bench.

This is the paper, the tool?

You guys call it a tool?

Can you define harness?

I'm pretty sure that's a technical term that I think coders will be aware of, but I'm not.

I see.
