New Tools Aim to Make AI 'Vibe Coding' Safer for Crypto

In brief

• ASI Alliance and Matterhorn said they are building tools to reduce risks from AI-generated blockchain code.
• The platform combines automated analysis, human review, and testing tools to audit smart contracts before deployment.
• The partnership runs on ASI:Chain and aims to onboard 20,000 developers in 2026.

Artificial intelligence is starting to write the code that moves money on blockchains. The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance and developer platform Matterhorn say they want to make sure that code is safe.

Matterhorn and the ASI Alliance announced on Friday the new initiative centered on “vibe coding”—a feature of the Matterhorn platform that lets developers describe an app in plain language, and AI instantly generates the full smart contract code. While this technique speeds up development and lowers the barrier to building applications, it also introduces the risk of AI generating flawed or insecure code that attackers can exploit.

"We're at the beginning of a world where dApps become 'just Apps', commonplace like the websites and apps we use today," the company said in a statement. "Every other tool in this space is racing to ship code faster. We think that's the wrong race. The builders who build dApps that handle real money and real users need a platform they can trust, and this partnership is how we build it."

To mitigate this threat, Matterhorn founder Abhinav Ramesh said the company is working with outside security auditors and automated tools to help developers review AI-generated smart contracts before deployment.

“We partner with security audit companies who can offer audit services through Matterhorn for builders on Matterhorn,” Ramesh told Decrypt. “We have AI agents as well that do agentic audits, but we absolutely don’t recommend doing just that for mainnet applications.”

Matterhorn development platform is designed to integrate with ASI:Chain, a blockchain network developed by the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a decentralized AI collective that includes Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and CUDOS, giving developers a single environment to build, audit, and deploy decentralized applications.

“We make it easy for users to connect MCPs, build/use skills, build dApps, and deploy from a single platform,” Ramesh said. “We are working with the ASI team on 'blessed templates' to make it easier to build safer contracts specifically for formal verification-based languages.”
