Bitcoin Red Team Uncovers Dozens of Critical Vulnerabilities Using AI

A team of volunteer security experts, dubbed the Bitcoin Red Team, is using artificial intelligence to scan Bitcoin repositories and identify vulnerabilities.

The group has already scanned about 150 repositories and made over a dozen vulnerability disclosures, with an average of one critical exploit per hour per person.

The team is developing an open-source AI platform for auditing Bitcoin software, using models such as Kimi K3 and OpenAI's GPT Sol to identify vulnerabilities and generate supporting documentation.

Pseudonymous developer Calle said the initiative has built multiple AI-powered review systems targeting wallets, cryptographic libraries, infrastructure, and other Bitcoin projects.
