According to the source, frontier AI models demonstrate human-level capability in exploiting smart contracts, signaling a material security vector that traders should factor into DeFi risk management, source: the source. DeFi smart contracts have been the largest target category in crypto hacking by value, concentrating market risk on Ethereum-based protocols and related tokens, source: Chainalysis Crypto Crime Report 2024. Actionable watchpoints include tracking real-time security advisories from blockchain security teams and monitoring TVL shifts in major DeFi pools to assess potential spillover to ETH and DeFi token liquidity, source: CertiK Alert and DefiLlama.

According to @Celo, Forta Network is now integrated on Celo, meaning every transaction sent via the Celo L2 RPC is automatically screened using Forta’s AI-powered firewall before reaching the chain. This integration aims to block exploits and compliance risks in real time, improving on-chain security and protecting smart contracts by default without additional setup. For traders, this upgrade reduces the risk of hacks and malicious activity on the Celo blockchain, potentially increasing institutional confidence and trading volumes. Enhanced compliance screening may also attract more regulated capital into the CELO ecosystem, contributing to greater liquidity and safer trading environments.
