Italian company Alps Blockchain, in collaboration with local firm Qurubiqa, has initiated a bitcoin mining project at an unused gas-fired thermal power plant in Bolivia's Cochabamba department. The plant has a capacity of 127 MW. Currently, the facility consumes about 27 MW, providing a hashrate of 1.23 EH/s. By the end of 2026, the partners aim to increase consumption to 45 MW, eventually reaching full capacity utilization of the power plant's infrastructure. The project operates on a behind-the-meter model: equipment is located near the power station and consumes energy without feeding it into the grid. Transactions are denominated in US dollars. This financial model was chosen due to Bolivia's prolonged currency crisis and liquidity shortages. Previously, the country's government allowed the state oil and gas giant YPFB to use cryptocurrencies for paying energy imports. The volume of virtual asset transactions in the first half of 2025 increased by more than 530% year-on-year—from $46.5 million to $294 million. This surge in activity was recorded after the official ban on cryptocurrency use was lifted in June 2024. Alps Blockchain includes the Cochabamba site in its list of active projects alongside those in Oman, the USA, Ecuador, and Italy. The company's total managed capacity is 242 MW. Back in November 2025, Bolivia's Minister of Economy José Gabriel Espinoza announced that the country would integrate cryptocurrencies and stablecoins into the national financial system to modernize it.

Anthropic has released the initial report on Project Glasswing, a vulnerability detection program using the Claude Mythos model. In a month, approximately 50 partners identified over 10,000 high and critical security issues. The company stated that the bottleneck was not the speed of detection but the verification and release of patches. The neural network scanned more than 1,000 open-source projects and discovered 23,019 vulnerabilities of all levels. Of these, 6,202 were initially classified by the system as "high" or "critical." Upon further review, 90.6% of the findings were confirmed, including 62.4% as requiring urgent intervention. Open-source software vulnerability monitoring dashboard. It displays issues of all severity levels, not just those rated as "high" or "critical" by the system. Source: Anthropic. The company disclosed 530 significant bugs to developers, with another 827 set for publication. Seventy-five have been fixed, and recommendations have been issued for 65. On average, closing a serious gap takes about two weeks. Among the public cases is a vulnerability in the wolfSSL library (CVE-2026-5194). According to the company, the model was able to construct an attack to forge certificates. Mozilla reported fixing 271 bugs in Firefox 150 after testing Mythos. Cloudflare discovered around 2,000 gaps, including 400 with "high" and "critical" status. Anthropic stated that it does not plan a public release of the model until stronger protective mechanisms are in place and intends to expand Project Glasswing, including collaboration with the US government and allies. Back in April, the firm decided against releasing Mythos to the public due to high security risks. The neural network is used by the US National Security Agency, among others.

Cryptocurrency payments are emerging as the settlement layer for AI agents, as the infrastructure of payment cards is ill-suited for microtransactions, according to a report by Keyrock. From May 2025 to April 2026, AI agents conducted over 176 million on-chain transactions amounting to more than $73 million. Nearly all settlements were made in USDC. The primary demand is for the payment of data, computing power, API, and content without human involvement. An example provided is a trading agent that automatically settles small amounts for market data and cloud infrastructure. Keyrock identified four architectures for agent payments: x402 by Coinbase; Machine Payments Protocol by Stripe and Tempo; Agent Payments Protocol by Google; Visa's card infrastructure for AI commerce. The company believes these solutions form a new payment stack. Coinbase and Stripe already cover five out of its six layers. Major players have directed over $8 billion towards deals and the development of agent transaction infrastructure. The segment received an additional boost following the launch of AWS Bedrock AgentCore Payments in preview mode. Coinbase and Stripe were the first partners of the service. According to Gartner's forecast, by 2028 AI agents could mediate purchases worth $15 trillion. McKinsey estimates the retail agent commerce market to be $3–5 trillion by 2030. Earlier in May, Solana Foundation, in collaboration with Google Cloud, launched a payment system for AI agents — Pay.sh.

Artificial intelligence is accelerating the development of quantum computing and shortening the timeline in which modern cryptography may become vulnerable, according to CoinDesk. Alex Pruden, head of Project Eleven, stated that machine learning is already being used to optimize error correction—one of the key barriers in creating quantum computers. AI is employed not only for protection but also for identifying vulnerabilities in cryptography and software. NEAR co-founder Ilya Polosukhin noted that artificial intelligence has been accelerating scientific research for several years. He suggested that the next generation of quantum systems might be developed using AI. Polosukhin also pointed to a "collect now, decrypt later" scenario: encrypted traffic could be intercepted today with the expectation of future decryption. The risk is critical for the crypto industry. Most blockchains use elliptic curve cryptography. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could theoretically derive a private key from a public one, compromising wallets. In Ethereum, the public key is revealed after a transaction is sent, potentially making accounts vulnerable. In March, Google estimated that breaking 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography would require about 1200 logical qubits—significantly fewer than previous calculations. The corporation plans to transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2029. In March, the Ethereum Foundation introduced a roadmap to protect the network from quantum computers. Weekly tests are conducted in the ecosystem with more than 10 client teams participating. The basic protective infrastructure is expected to be completed by 2029. In April, Ripple unveiled a post-quantum readiness roadmap for the XRP Ledger with a target date of 2028. The platform is testing validators in collaboration with Project Eleven. According to market participants, the key risk is not only quantum computing but also its combination with AI. Earlier in May, AmericanFortress proposed another method to protect Bitcoin from the quantum threat.

Researchers have introduced Qumus, an autonomous AI system designed for experiments with quantum materials. The work is published on arXiv and is yet to be peer-reviewed. The platform integrates robotics, computer vision, and a multi-agent architecture. Qumus operates in a robotic mini-laboratory, executing the entire cycle from protocol planning to result analysis and report preparation. Without human intervention, the system isolated graphene flakes using mechanical exfoliation and fabricated nanoscale devices from atomically thin materials, including a graphene field-effect transistor based on a van der Waals structure. To find a method for obtaining a graphene flake larger than 200 μm², the AI examined four parameters: temperature, contact time, number of press cycles, and tape detachment speed. Over more than four hours and five optimization cycles, the platform produced a fragment measuring 245 μm². Qumus is capable of correcting errors. In one test, the system detected the absence of a silicon chip, reassembled the plan, and repeated exfoliation on a new substrate. In another, it corrected the misclassification of hexagonal boron nitride as graphene. During transistor assembly, the robot conducted a 90-minute dry transfer involving 30 physical operations and 18 decision-making stages. A hierarchical network of agents based on large language models is used to manage the laboratory. Computer vision tracks objects and inventory, employing YOLOv8 for detection. In May, CEO of Keeper Security Darren Guccione stated that AI and quantum technologies will threaten existing security systems.
