OpenAI in talks to acquire Trail of Bits

By: www.crypto-insiders.nl|10/14/2026 10:00:32

OpenAI is in discussions regarding a potential acquisition of Trail of Bits, a security company that has researched technologies behind XRP, Monero, and Arbitrum. Trail of Bits has published 475 blockchain reports and 59 cryptography reports. No agreement has been reached yet, and the acquisition price remains unknown. Trail of Bits is not a cryptocurrency company but focuses on identifying security vulnerabilities in software and assisting developers in resolving issues. The company has recently conducted audits on the technology of XRP and Monero, as well as components of Arbitrum. Audits are crucial for identifying vulnerabilities in blockchain software, which can help ensure the security of networks. OpenAI and Trail of Bits are already collaborating in the Patch the Planet program, which uses AI to find bugs in public software. The discussions about the acquisition were reported on October 13, and it is still uncertain whether the deal will go through.
