Prem AI launches CyberScan for continuous AI security audits of Bitcoin infrastructure

DECRYPT ·

London, UK, August 20th, 2026, Chainwire CyberScan turns frontier AI models into repeatable, resumable security reviews that deliver actionable findings inside developers’ existing workflows. Prem AI , the Sovereign Intelligence company with R&D and operations in Switzerland, today launched CyberScan , a continuous AI security audit harness built initially for Bitcoin infrastructure. Leading Bitcoin companies ArkLabs and Breez have had early access to CyberScan during the beta, running it against production code ahead of launch. CyberScan gives engineering teams an ongoing layer of code review between formal security audits. It repeatedly analyses repositories as code evolves, preserves scan state if a run is interrupted, and returns prioritised findings with severity ratings and file-level references. It is designed to complement expert review, not replace it. CyberScan’s launch follows the year's largest hardware wallet exploit. On July 30, an attacker pulled more than $116 million in bitcoin from over 5,200 Coldcard hardware wallets, in four waves over a single week, according to TRM Labs . The root cause was a firmware regression introduced in March 2021; human reviews on the open-source repository missed it, and automated AI attacks leveraged it: a build-time check meant to guarantee the wallet used its hardware random number generator instead silently let it fall back to a deterministic software PRNG. Every wallet seed became predictable, and every human review missed it for five years. The attacker rebuilt private keys offline, without ever touching a device. Over the two weeks that followed, Prem AI served more than 50 companies across the ecosystem and processed more than 10 billion tokens, nearly all of it security research. The audits that came out of that work surfaced three critical vulnerabilities, each disclosed and remediated in coordination with the affected maintainers. The response also exposed the limitations of model access alone. A model running in a chat session does not reliably preserve the state of a long review, resume after an interruption, or route its findings into the systems developers use to manage security work. CyberScan provides the workflow bundled in the harness. Teams point CyberScan at a repository, where it maps the codebase, examines potential attack paths and produces structured findings with the relevant files and severity levels. Runs are resumable, while live progress and token usage make their status and cost visible. Teams can select the model used for each scan. CyberScan is available through an API and Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing teams to integrate it with their existing development tools. Findings are formatted for review and use in GitHub code-scanning alerts and issues, avoiding the need to extract results from a chat transcript. Alongside CyberScan, Prem has launched a purpose-built version of DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 that supports security workflows end-to-end and delivers state-of-the-art results on defensive security tasks. The weights are published openly on Hugging Face, and the model is selectable per run in CyberScan from day one." Prem is starting with Bitcoin because it is the hardest proving ground in security: high-stakes, open source, and under constant attack from opponents looking to turn a vulnerability into money. The same class of bugs that drained Coldcard lives across fintech and banking, and the company plans to bring CyberScan to the institutions running the most critical infrastructure on the planet. Prem AI is a Sovereign Intelligence company dedicated to delivering open access to frontier AI that is private, verifiable, and compounding. The company builds AI applications and infrastructure for organizations that manage sensitive information, integrating hardware attestation, confidential computing, and open-weight models so enterprises maintain absolute sovereignty over their AI. With R&D and operations in Switzerland, Prem serves institutions across the legal, healthcare, finance and government sectors.

상승 영향

DYAX 전담 분석

The launch of CyberScan by Prem AI has the causal effect of proactively blocking vulnerabilities in Bitcoin infrastructure and improving the overall security level of the network. This can lower entry barriers for institutional investors and enhance asset reliability, thereby driving positive price trends for Bitcoin-related assets.

In the bullish scenario, institutional capital inflows accelerate due to enhanced security, while in the bearish scenario, short-term volatility could expand if potential technical flaws are discovered. Key indicators to watch are the adoption rate of security audits and trading volume trends on the Bitcoin network.
