Manuel Aráoz, co-founder of smart contract security firm OpenZeppelin, went public on May 26 with a blunt recommendation that people should get out of DeFi, all of it, including the blue chips.
According to him, AI-powered coding agents have tilted the security game so far toward attackers that no protocol can currently be trusted to hold user funds.
Aráoz’s Warning
The software engineer wrote in a post on X;
“PSA: I now consider all of DeFi unsafe.”
He also said he has been privately advising friends and family to exit all DeFi positions, naming Aave, MakerDAO, and Compound as protocols he no longer considers safe.
His reasoning is based on asymmetry: defenders must find and fix every vulnerability, while attackers need only one to cause damage. Now, with AI coding agents capable of scanning smart contracts faster and more thoroughly than any human security team can, Aráoz feels the asymmetry has become unworkable.
OpenZeppelin itself recently noted that crypto companies lo
