A trader discusses how AI security agents could become a valuable service in the agent economy, citing Termix's partnership with Goplus Security that allows users to hire agents for $19.90 to audit token contracts. The post argues security is uniquely suited for autonomous services because the cost of failure is high, creating genuine demand, and notes recent bridge exploits and wallet compromises worth billions validate this market need.
On September 20, 2026, attackers exploited smart contracts for Fetch.ai and NuNet after compromising private keys used by both projects. The attacker drained approximately 8.7 million ethereum tokens worth $2M and illegally minted over 408 million NTX tokens by leveraging missing security controls in the conversion contracts.
