OpenAI, in collaboration with crypto investment firm Paradigm, on Feb. 19, 2026 released EVMbench, a new benchmark to evaluate how AI agents interact with Ethereum Virtual Machine smart-contract security. EVMbench tests agents' abilities to read, write, audit, and exploit smart contract code as a measure of robustness for the sector that currently secures over $100 billion in open-source crypto assets. The benchmark aims to standardize evaluation of AI-driven security tools.
Key Points
- 1Introduces EVMbench to evaluate AI agents' ability to read, write, audit, and exploit smart contracts
- 2Addresses security risk for over $100 billion in open-source crypto assets by standardizing vulnerability assessment
- 3Enables practitioners to benchmark AI security tools and improve automated auditing and exploit detection workflows
Scoring Rationale
High practical value and credibility from OpenAI-Paradigm release, limited by shallow article detail on benchmark methodology.
