A vibe-coded crypto wallet took his real private key and hit a bug no reviewer caught

Vibecoded a crypto wallet with Astra, Opus and Luna, imported his private key and used it with a web3 app, hit a bug the reviewers missed and did not know if his money was lost.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

He vibecodes a crypto wallet with three models
Imports his private key and uses it with a web3 app
Hits a bug the reviewers missed
And does not know if his key or funds are safe

Why it’s worth knowing

A wallet is the one app where a missed bug is not a bug report.
