'Bunker Mode': Top Ethereum Researcher Sounds Alarm Over AI Crypto Threat

Ethereum researcher Justin Drake is urging the crypto community to start planning for what he calls “bunker mode”, as he claims the ever-growing leaps in AI might threaten Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other key blockchain networks.  The researcher is encouraging big and sophisticated crypto players to start thinking about a controlled movement of funds to new addresses with public keys never seen on-chain.  “Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly start planning for bunker mode,” wrote Drake.  He has proposed such a plan as a way to limit the possible fallout of a theoretical breakthrough that would make it possible to get private keys from visible public keys.  Notably, Drake asked users not to panic and move in a rush. Instead, he framed this measure as a prevention that can be done today with current wallets and crypto infrastructure.  Will AI break ECDSA?  The issue raised by Drake pertains to the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), a common way to approve crypto transactions.  The Ethereum researcher says that it is now time to think about a theoretical extreme case. That is, ECDSA could be broken by classical computers before we reach the power of quantum computers (usually called “Q-day”).  In the worst-case scenario, this kind of

Sui tunnels hit 40.6M TPS in live AI agent test

Suis programmable offchain tunnels reached 40.6 million transactions per second in a live test designed to simulate high-frequency activity between AI agents.  Sui said its programmable offchain tunnels processed more than 40 million transactions per second during a live stress test, surpassing a previous record set in July. The test, conducted Wednesday at Sui Basecamp in Singapore, peaked at 40,614,180 TPS, up from about 6.1 million TPS in a similar test in July.  The transactions were processed offchain through Sui tunnels, programmable channels that settle to the Sui blockchain when closed. More than 10,000 tunnels were opened on Sui mainnet during the test, with activity spanning payments, games and chat applications.Source: SUI Network  Sui said the tunnels are designed to handle high-frequency activity, including interactions between AI agents, without requiring every transaction to be processed directly onchain.  “Sui is built for the moment when millions of AI agents are transacting every day,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and chief product officer at Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. He added:  No market in the world needs 6 million transactions per second, let alone 40 million: people just dont move that fast. Agents do.

Ethereums slide toward $2,500 has put about $1.35 billion of leveraged long positions at increasing risk of liquidation.

Gemini AI Predicts ADA as Cardano Adds Freeze Powers

Cardano shipped a standard today that lets token issuers freeze and seize assets. ADA fell 4.86% the same session. Call that a coincidence if you want, but Censorship resistance is the one promise crypto has never offered to renegotiate. Gemini AI predicts ADA stays under pressure in the near term, because the loudest retail interest of 2026 arrived on a red candle rather than a green one.  The qualifier sits below the headline, where fewer people reach it. ADA cannot be frozen, and the powers apply only to newly issued tokens. As of now, ADA trades at $0.2538, down over 8% in the last 24 hours. Volume sits at 23.79 million.  Was $ADAs rally really a short squeeze?  Some coverage said so, pointing to falling open interest. Santiments daily closes show the opposite.  ???? $ADA rose ~10% from Oct 3 to Oct 5.  ????
