Question AI is finding bugs faster than ever. Did anything change in what you do before mainnet?
I run a small audit firm, so weigh my bias.
curl 8.23.0 shipped earlier this month with 24 security fixes, and most were found with AI-assisted research. The same thing is happening onchain, if you've seen in Anthropic’s SCONE-bench, agents wrote working exploits for about half of 405 real hacked contracts, at around $1 a run...
What this basically means is that the quiet window after deploy is basically gone. Anyone can point an agent at your contracts the hour they go live, so “audit once we have traction” is a worse bet than it used to be.
What’s one thing you do before mainnet now that you didn’t a year ago? Which Claude skills are your must-run?
