The Ethereum Foundation recently announced the launch of an ambitious “Trillion Dollar Security Initiative” (1TS). This comprehensive program aims to significantly improve the security of the Ethereum network, preparing it for a future where it can safely store trillions of dollars and serve billions of users.

The goal is to make the network secure enough for billions of people to store even small amounts, but also reliable enough to protect institutions that store trillions in a single contract or.$ENS
