#EthereumSecurityInitiative

The Ethereum Foundation has launched a security initiative aimed at supporting the broader adoption of on-chain technologies, according to an announcement on May 14. This effort is part of an ongoing push to strengthen Ethereum's role in programmable crypto assets.

Fredrik Svantes, research lead for protocol security, and Josh Stark from the Ethereum Foundation management team will be the first co-chairs of the initiative. Three collaborators from the Ethereum ecosystem, samczsun, Medhi Zerouali, and Zach Obront, will help guide the project.

Called the One Billion Dollar Security Initiative, the effort seeks to analyze, improve, and communicate to Ethereum developers areas where security can be enhanced, including user experience, wallet security, smart contract security, and infrastructure.
