Rob Hamilton, CEO of AnchorWatch and a Bitcoin contributor, had his first commit merged into Bitcoin Core on August 20, fixing a wallet-related bug identified with help from AI models analyzing the codebase. His Bitcoin Red Team initiative, involving 16 volunteers, documented 4,962 findings across more than 390 Bitcoin-related open-source repositories during a 30-hour campaign launched in early August. The group classified 85 findings as critical and 635 as high-severity. Hamilton began experimenting with AI-assisted code analysis on Bitcoin Core as early as May, while a Coldcard hardware wallet vulnerability in July that resulted in the theft of over 1,000 BTC helped turn the effort into a coordinated campaign. OpenAI blocked Hamilton from conducting further Bitcoin security analysis with its tools around August 9, prompting the team to use alternatives including Kimi K3. The project highlighted a growing challenge for AI-assisted security research: finding possible bugs can be faster than getting maintainers across hundreds of repositories to review, triage and fix them. After nearly 5,000 findings in 30 hours, the effort had produced one merged commit after weeks of review.
