- NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 opens in a new tab
Supports: AI systems need governance, documented risk controls, measurement, and review; broad autonomous authority should not be inferred from an agent's capability to call a tool.
- OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications opens in a new tab
Supports: Prompt injection and insecure tool use are material risks for LLM-connected systems, so untrusted content must not control transactions or permissions.
- ERC-4337: Account Abstraction opens in a new tab
Supports: Smart contract accounts can implement their own validation logic and UserOperations carry signed execution data; account abstraction does not itself establish a safe spending policy.
- CFTC: Understand the Risks of Virtual Currency Trading opens in a new tab
Supports: Crypto markets carry volatility, fraud, operational, and loss risks; automation cannot remove them or guarantee a trading outcome.
