Scanners commoditizing on both sides means defense-side LLM capability meets attack-side LLM capability at the same compile gate. Gervais's exploit-generation paper already showed AI agents finding novel reentrancy and price-manipulation bugs in unaudited contracts; the audit tier migrates up to adversarial state tracing and invariant fuzzing where cross-protocol composability still wrecks context windows. Nine-figure DeFi losses since 2022 mostly hit already-audited code. A free scanner raises the floor for solo devs shipping forks; the tail risk is where the money actually leaks.
