[Cypherpunk: Bitcoin Once Minted 184 Billion Extra Coins Due to a Bug] According to a post by Cypherpunk on the X platform, all software contains vulnerabilities, and historically, Bitcoin once minted an additional 184 billion BTC due to an error. Cypherpunk emphasized that blockchain security should be enhanced through formal verification and provable correctness. With the development of AI technology, vulnerability detection will become faster and more comprehensive, but the key lies in who can identify issues before malicious actors. Zcash is about to release an update showcasing its capabilities. Previously, the privacy coin ZEC experienced a single-day price drop of over 50% after reports of a potential infinite minting vulnerability.
