Ethereum Foundation AI Agent Research Shows Where Smart Contracts May Be Heading Next

The post Ethereum Deploys AI Security Agents to Hunt Bugs, Discovers Critical Networking Flaw appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum Foundation used coordinated AI agents to identify a real protocol vulnerability. Validating AI-generated bug reports now takes more effort than finding vulnerabilities. The Foundation runs multiple AI agents with specialized roles, as per a July 9 blog post. The Ethereum Foundation has revealed that its Protocol Security team is using coordinated AI agents to audit Ethereum’s core infrastructure, finding real software vulnerabilities while adding that human verification remains the most important part of the process. In a technical blog published on July 9, the Foundation said the AI agents are being deployed against systems software, cryptographic libraries and smart contracts that support Ethereum’s protocol. One confirmed discovery was a remotely triggerable panic in libp2p’s Gossipsub networking component, which is used by Ethereum consensus cl

The post Top 11 Telegram trading bots to try in July 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Telegram trading bots are automated programs that are embedded in the Telegram app allowing users to execute trades on decentralized exchanges without using a traditional exchange interface. The bots can buy and sell orders, respond to market conditions automatically and monitor positions. How do Telegram trading bots work? Telegram trading bots are connected to DEXs through smart contracts and a Web3 wallet. Users can create a new wallet inside the bot or import an existing one that can then monitor on-chain activity and execute trades. The bots can also monitor and manage their positions according to the rules defined by the users. Bots can help users navigate DEX interface which is especially useful when trying to buy newly launched tokens. They can also help users detect signs of a rug pull before a trade is executed. Copy trading also helps users mirror trades of a specific wallet addres

The post Ethereum Foundation Turns to AI Agents in Race to Secure Network From Bad Actors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key highlights: The Ethereum Foundation has tested AI agents in a cybersecurity role The AI agents found real bugs in the shortest time possible, with the Foundation warning that security researchers are still required Ethereum is now bracing for its biggest network improvements since The Merge The Ethereum Foundation has announced a raft of positives after testing the capabilities of AI agents in spotting security vulnerabilities on the Ethereum network. Despite the successes, the Ethereum Foundation disclosed that AI agents are not replacements for security researchers as the network braces for seismic changes. Ethereum Foundation unleashes AI agents to spot vulnerabilities According to a blog post by the research nonprofit, the experiments with coordinated AI agents for identifying network vulnerabilities recorded impressive success levels. Right off the bat

The post AI Agent Dispute Resolution Powers Internet Court Protocol appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. When AI agents start cutting deals with each other — buying, selling, committing funds without a human ever clicking “approve” — what happens when one of them defaults? That question is now driving a serious infrastructure push, and AI agent dispute resolution just got its first dedicated protocol. A coalition of 27 crypto and Web3 firms, including OKX, MetaMask, Matter Labs, and Genlayer, has launched the Internet Court, a shared framework designed to handle contractual disagreements between autonomous AI agents at the speed they actually operate. Key takeaways The Internet Court is a 27-firm-backed protocol led by the Genlayer Foundation to resolve disputes between AI agents transacting autonomously. Agentic commerce currently has no dispute resolution mechanism, and traditional courts cannot process machine-speed disagreements. The protocol provides interoperable AI-based payment

The post Cardano Price Prediction: Hoskinson Calls Ethereum’s EUTXO Move a Crime as ADA Holds the 20-Day EMA appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hoskinson called reports of his retirement “categorically untrue” and a complete fabrication He accused the Ethereum Foundation of copying Cardano’s EUTXO model without acknowledgment ADA is holding above the 20-day EMA at $0.1682 after a bullish RSI divergence formed at the June lows Cardano trades at $0.1667 on July 10, up 0.24% and clinging to support after a week dominated by US-Iran volatility, a retirement rumor, and a public confrontation with the Ethereum Foundation. Is ADA Finding Support At The 20-Day EMA? ADA 1D Price Action (Source: TradingView) The daily chart shows ADA sitting just above the 20-day EMA at $0.1682, a level that has acted as the pivot point throughout this recovery from the June low near $0.14. Price dipped to $0.1656 intraday before recovering, and the RSI divergence tool shows a bullish signal still active at 47

The post Ethereum Foundation Shuts Down Protocol Support Team After Half-Decade Run appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Highlights Protocol Support team at Ethereum Foundation officially disbanded after half a decade of operations. Team facilitated critical network upgrades, developer conferences, and proposal advancement processes. Instrumental in shepherding Ethereum through landmark transitions including The Merge, Dencun, and Pectra. Fellowship program cultivated next-generation contributors for protocol advancement and client development. Responsibilities now distributed throughout foundation’s reorganized framework. After five years of operations, the Ethereum Foundation has officially closed its Protocol Support division, which served as a central hub for network upgrade coordination and developer education initiatives. This dissolution comes as part of a broader organizational transformation that has streamlined personnel and restructured the foundation’s operational bluep

The post AI Agents & Ethereum Protocol Security: What Changed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum News: The Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Security team, in a July 9, 2026, post authored by Nikos Baxevanis, has published a detailed account of running coordinated AI agents against Ethereum’s core protocol code, including systems software, cryptographic libraries, and contracts، and the headline result is methodological, not just the vulnerability they disclosed. The agents found a real bug: a remotely-triggerable panic in libp2p’s gossipsub layer, the peer-to-peer substrate that all Ethereum consensus clients depend on, now patched and publicly disclosed as CVE-2026-34219. But Baxevanis frames that disclosure as secondary to a more durable insight about where security research time actually goes when agents enter the pipeline.

The post Ethereum Foundation dissolves key protocol coordination team appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Foundation has dissolved its Protocol Support team as part of a broader restructuring that recently cut about 20% of the nonprofit’s workforce. Summary Ethereum Foundation dissolved Protocol Support after five years coordinating upgrades, developer meetings and fellowship programs worldwide. Several team members lost their roles following the Foundation’s broader 20% workforce reduction announced recently. Core protocol work continues under Ethereum Foundation’s new structure, but some support programs face uncertainty. Protocol Support coordinated several parts of Ethereum’s development process. Its work covered core developer meetings, network upgrade tracking, Ethereum Improvement Proposal support and programs that trained new protocol contributors. The Protocol Support account confirmed the team’s closure on X. It also invited Ethereum organizations seeking experi
