Exploring a New Tool for Smart Contract Security
OpenAI and Paradigm have recently launched EVMbench, an innovative tool designed to assess the performance of AI agents in the realm of smart contract security. EVMbench will evaluate AI's capabilities in detecting vulnerabilities, modifying contracts, and preventing exploits.
Why EVMbench Is Needed
As AI becomes increasingly capable in code writing and execution, it poses both a potential threat and a powerful defense mechanism. Therefore, evaluating AI systems in environments with real economic value is essential.
Use Cases and Background
This tool comes at a time when DeFi protocol Moonwell and cross-chain liquidity protocol CrossCurve were recently targeted due to smart contract vulnerabilities. Built on 120 carefully selected vulnerability samples, EVMbench offers a comprehensive testing environment based on multiple public audits and competition cases.
Looking Ahead
Industry experts believe that as AI technology continues to evolve, the threshold for identifying smart contract vulnerabilities will decrease, and the race between security defense and attack capabilities will accelerate.
