OpenAI Launches EVMbench to Test AI’s Ability to Secure Ethereum Smart Contracts

  • OpenAI and Paradigm introduced EVMbench to assess AI systems’ ability to handle Ethereum smart contract vulnerabilities.
  • The benchmark uses 120 real-world audit issues and evaluates detection, repair and exploit capabilities in controlled environments.
  • Early results show significant performance differences between GPT-5.3-Codex and GPT-5, highlighting rapid model advancement.

OpenAI has unveiled EVMbench, a smart contract security benchmark developed alongside crypto investment firm Paradigm to test artificial intelligence agents on Ethereum vulnerabilities. The framework is intended to determine whether AI systems can detect, exploit and fix serious flaws in Ethereum smart contracts.

Because smart contracts are generally immutable once deployed, errors can have enduring financial consequences. OpenAI said such contracts routinely protect more than US$100 billion (AU$141 billion) in open-source crypto assets, increasing the importance of rigorous security evaluation as AI coding capabilities advance.

Measuring AI Performance

The dataset underpinning EVMbench consists of 120 curated vulnerabilities drawn from 40 professional audits, with most sourced from open audit competitions including Code4rena. Additional scenarios stem from security auditing work for Tempo, a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain designed to support high-throughput, low-cost stablecoin payments.

AI agents are assessed across three categories: detecting known vulnerabilities, patching contracts without compromising intended functionality, and executing exploit attempts within a controlled blockchain environment. Exploit tasks are graded using deterministic transaction replay and on-chain checks.

In benchmark results, GPT-5.3-Codex achieved 72.2% in exploit mode, while GPT-5 recorded 31.9%, despite being released just over six months earlier. OpenAI said the objective is to create a clear standard for evaluating AI systems in blockchain security as decentralised finance continues to grow.

Chinese EV Firm’s Stock Surges, Then Stumbles on $1 Billion Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB Plan

Chinese EV Firm’s Stock Surges, Then Stumbles on $1 Billion Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB Plan

The post Chinese EV Firm’s Stock Surges, Then Stumbles on $1 Billion Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB Plan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Jiuzi Holdings announced a crypto treasury strategy focused on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB. The firm’s board approved up a plan to spend up to $1 billion on the crypto assets, though its cash and cash equivalents were less than $1 million last year. Shares of JZXN skyrocketed upon open, but have now fallen nearly 10% on the day. Publicly traded electric vehicle charging firm Jiuzi Holdings is adopting a crypto investment policy, after its board of directors authorized the firm to deploy up to $1 billion into acquiring and holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB.  Shares of JZXN jumped as high as $2.38 on the news, a 47% spike above its Tuesday closing price, before retracing completely. Shares are now down nearly 10% on the day and changing hands at $1.46. JZXN is down more than 99.9% in the last 5 years. “Adopting the crypto asset investment policy represents a proactive step in our treasury management to safeguard and enhance long-term shareholder value,” said the firm’s CEO Tao Li in a statement.   Using a strict risk framework, the Chinese firm was authorized to allocate a portion of its cash reserves into BTC, ETH, and BNB. Any additional crypto tokens would need to be approved by the board prior to investment.  While the board authorized up to $1 billion in crypto purchases, the firm’s latest financial filing with the SEC indicates it only had around $943,000 in cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2024. The firm also reported a net income loss of around $55 million for the fiscal year ending on that day. While some firms creating crypto treasuries raise funds via convertible notes or private investment into public equity (aka PIPE placements), there is no indication of how Jiuzi Holdings intends to raise funds to…
