Could AI Agents Exploit Ethereum, XRP, Solana? Anthropic Says It’s Possible
Posted On December 2, 2025
AI firm Anthropic says its latest tests showed AI agents autonomously hacking top blockchains and draining simulated funds, signaling that automated exploits may now threaten blockchains like Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) at scale.
AI Agents Execute Realistic Exploits Across Ethereum, BNB Chain And Base
A test environment showed AI models, including Claude Opus 4.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5, exploiting 17 of 34 smart contracts deployed after March 2025.
The models drained $4.5 million in simulated funds, according to Anthropic.
The company expanded the experiment to 405 previously exploited contracts across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (CRYPTO: BNB), and Base.
The result: AI agents …
