Crypto Projects Apply for Anthropic’s New AI Security Scanner

The notable detail is who is doing the scanning, not who is being scanned: frontier AI models positioned as an audit layer for onchain code. That matters because smart-contract security has been a fragmented, human-driven market, and an opt-in service from a major AI lab could shift how projects triage vulnerabilities. The undisclosed applicant list leaves the real question open: whether crypto teams are early adopters of AI-assisted auditing or just curious applicants.
