Ethereum Foundation Launches Trillion-Dollar Security Initiative
The Ethereum Foundation has announced the Trillion-Dollar Security (1TS) Initiative, a major push to upgrade the network’s security standards as Ethereum aims to support global-scale adoption.
Despite its move to Proof-of-Stake, Ethereum remains the most targeted blockchain—responsible for 40–50% of all on-chain exploits, with over $5.3B lost through DEX attacks, bridge exploits, and wallet vulnerabilities.
The 1TS initiative is designed to secure the entire EVM ecosystem—from smart contracts and wallets to infrastructure and protocol layers—ensuring it’s robust enough for trillions in user assets.
Led by Fredrik Svantes and Josh Stark, along with a team of ecosystem stewards, the initiative begins with a full security threat map of Ethereum. The team is collecting input from the community and will publish a public report to guide security improvements across the stack.
As Ethereum pushes for wider adoption and aims to reclaim L1 activity from L2s, security is becoming a top priority—one that could determine whether institutions and users feel safe putting real value on-chain.
