#EthereumSecurityInitiative Ethereum aims for trillion-dollar security

On May 14, 2025, the Ethereum Foundation launched the "Trillion Dollar Security" (1TS) initiative, a strategic plan to elevate the security standards of the Ethereum network. The goal is to make Ethereum reliable for billions of users and institutions, enabling the secure management of digital assets on a large scale.

Main objectives:

Allow billions of users to securely hold over $1,000 each on the network.

Enable institutions to confidently manage over $1 trillion through smart contracts and decentralized applications.

Three-phase approach:

1. Identify existing vulnerabilities in the Ethereum ecosystem.

2. Implement targeted security improvements.

3. Communicate progress transparently to the community.

Areas of intervention:

Wallet security.

Smart contract architecture.

User experience.

Network infrastructure and consensus protocols.

Leadership and collaborations: The initiative is led by Fredrik Svantes and Josh Stark of the Ethereum Foundation, with support from industry experts such as Samczsun (Security Alliance), Mehdi Zerouali (Sigma Prime), and Zach Obront (Etherealize).

With over $400 billion currently locked on Ethereum, this initiative represents a crucial step in consolidating trust and security in the DeFi and Web3 ecosystem.
