SDF introduces Gesserit, an autonomous AI-powered security harness designed to find vulnerabilities in Stellar Core and other SDF products. Running 300 parallel AI agents and spending over 1 trillion tokens, Gesserit has discovered 40+ critical vulnerabilities and demonstrates 9x better detection than competing security tools.
As AI models became better at finding Stellar vulnerabilities, SDF realized attackers had the same tools. This sparked Gesserit: an autonomous AI harness that discovered 40+ critical vulnerabilities in Stellar Core. The breakthrough wasn't raw model power—it was orchestration. Gesserit breaks vulnerability discovery into stages, each with its own agentic session, preventing context overflow and duplication. A pseudo-vector database specialized for code deduplication lets agents learn from past failures without drowning in false positives. Running 300 parallel AI agents across 1+ trillion tokens, Gesserit finds vulnerabilities 9x faster than even the most expensive competing security tools. For any DeFi team not running similar AI-powered analysis, the message is stark: you will get hacked.
