New benchmark reveals safety flaws in AI-generated DeFi workflows

Researchers have developed DeFiFlowBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the safety of natural-language generated workflows for decentralized finance (DeFi). The benchmark, comprising 207 prompts, revealed that existing prompting methods frequently result in unsafe executions, even with declared safety predicates and price-impact caps. To address this, the team proposed Koan-Safe, a system that combines intent parsing, a replaceable generator, and structural repair with default safety parameters, significantly reducing unsafe executions on held-out prompts.

    DeFiFlowBench: Benchmarking and Improving Safe Executability in Natural-Language DeFi Workflow Synthesis

    arXiv:2609.11504v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A structurally valid DeFi workflow can still authorize a costly trade. We introduce DeFiFlowBench, a benchmark of 207 team-authored prompts for natural-language DeFi workflow synthesis. It measures graph coverage, configuration comp…
