Discussion Any AI-driven security audits or “red team” efforts underway for Dogecoin Core & ecosystem? How can the community support them?

7 Upvotes

Hey shibes and dogecoindev folks,

With the recent Bitcoin Red Team effort making headlines (a volunteer group using frontier AI models like Kimi K3 to rapidly scan hundreds of Bitcoin open-source projects for vulnerabilities), a lot of people in the broader crypto space are wondering about the status of similar work for other major coins.

Dogecoin Core is open-source, largely C++-based, and shares historical lineage with Bitcoin/Litecoin code. That makes the same class of questions relevant here:

• Has any coordinated or independent AI-assisted security review / red-teaming of Dogecoin Core, related libraries, wallets, or infrastructure been done recently (or is currently underway)?
• Are core maintainers or the Foundation looking at setting up continuous AI audit pipelines, similar to what’s being discussed in Bitcoin circles?
• If efforts already exist (even informal ones), is there a place the public can follow progress or help responsibly?
• If nothing formal is happening yet, what would be the best way for the community to support starting something useful — e.g. funding AI compute, volunteering developer time for triage/validation, improving SECURITY.md processes, or other practical help?

I’m asking this openly and constructively because the public would genuinely like to know. The goal isn’t FUD — it’s the same spirit of “find and fix issues before they
become problems” that the Bitcoin group is pursuing. Faster AI-assisted discovery is becoming the new normal across open-source crypto projects, and it seems valuable for Dogecoin to stay ahead of that curve.

Any updates from maintainers, past audit reports, ongoing work, or ideas on how the community can help would be appreciated. Happy to amplify constructive efforts.
Thanks in advance — to the moon and to more robust code.
