Execution Is the New Attack Surface: Survivability-Aware Agentic Crypto Trading with OpenClaw-Style Local Executors

Researchers propose Survivability-Aware Execution (SAE), a new security framework for AI-powered crypto trading systems that prevents execution-induced losses from compromised AI agents or malicious prompts. The system implements middleware protection between AI strategy engines and exchange executors, reducing maximum drawdown by 93.1% and attack success rates by 27.2% in testing.
