Claude traced five NIST prime-curve seeds and four binary-curve seeds to a generator initialized with timestamps from 1997 and 1998, resolving how those public parameters may have been produced (The Defiant).

That makes the unexplained seed choices less suspicious and backdoor fears less plausible, but it does not prove the curves secure or break them: the seeds are public curve inputs, not private keys or wallet seeds (Anthropic’s report, as summarized by The Defiant).

The reported $36,864 bounty is to be donated to the Internet Security Research Group, according to Coin Bureau’s post (Coin Bureau).
