Ethereum Researchers Deploy AI Agents to Rescue Glamsterdam Fork After Gas Scaling Vulnerabilities Exposed

Researchers at Ethlabs and the Ethereum Foundation independently deployed AI agents to identify security flaws in Ethereum's Glamsterdam hard fork after a major testnet cancellation revealed critical vulnerabilities in the network's gas scaling infrastructure. The effort demonstrates an emerging pattern of using autonomous agents for defensive security work—a reversal of earlier concerns about rogue AI agents misusing message boards for malicious purposes.
