As artificial intelligence continues to advance, its application in malicious attacks on decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols has become an unavoidable challenge. When AI “learns” to hack DeFi, traditional security frameworks risk complete failure.
The escalation of threats is simultaneously catalyzing a rewrite of defense rules. The industry is actively exploring AI-powered proactive defense, real-time threat detection, and self-healing mechanisms, aiming to reconstruct security perimeters before attackers leverage AI. In this ongoing cat-and-mouse game, the design philosophy of DeFi protocols is shifting from reactive patching to proactive immunity, turning crisis into an evolutionary leap for financial infrastructure.
