AI Revolutionizes Crypto Security with Cheaper and Faster Audits

DATA & FIGURES

The cost of smart contract audits is expected to decrease significantly with the use of AI-powered security tools like Mythos. According to Urbelis, the price of a basic audit could be pushed toward $0, allowing projects to obtain fast security assessments.

THE SCENARIO

The crypto industry has long been plagued by security challenges, with many incidents originating from social engineering, compromised credentials, and operational failures rather than smart contract vulnerabilities.
