What is the "Ethereum Security Initiative"?**

The **Ethereum Security Initiative** aims to:

✅ **Enhance the security of Smart Contracts** through better auditing.

✅ **Provide new tools** to discover vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

✅ **Increase security awareness** among developers and users.

✅ **Combat fraud and hacking attacks** on the ETH network.

## **💡 Why is this step important?**

1. **Protecting user funds**:

- With the increase in **DeFi** attacks and **hacks**, the need for security solutions becomes paramount.

2. **Building developers' trust**:

- The Ethereum network is home to thousands of decentralized applications (DApps), and any vulnerability could cost millions.
