Data compiled by Woofun AI shows that the proliferation of AI-driven security tools, including Mythos, is rapidly compressing smart contract audit costs within the cryptocurrency sector. This technological shift facilitates a transition from discrete, one-time manual audits to real-time, continuous code review, potentially driving the baseline cost of security verification toward zero. Consequently, industry standards for 'reasonable due diligence' are being fundamentally restructured, with AI systems capable of simulating attacker behavior to detect vulnerabilities more efficiently than traditional methods.

However, experts caution that AI remains limited in identifying complex risks such as economic model flaws, permission misuse, and social engineering attacks. As AI-assisted audits become ubiquitous and low-cost, developer accountability is expected to rise, potentially labeling un-audited projects as 'negligent.' Ultimately, cryptographic security will likely remain a hybrid system combining AI tools with human expertise in game theory and incentive mechanisms.
