#EthereumSecurityInitiative

The Ethereum Foundation launched the 1TS Initiative on May 14, 2025, to bolster Ethereum’s security for institutional-scale adoption. The plan targets vulnerabilities across Ethereum’s tech stack—wallets, smart contracts, consensus protocols, and infrastructure—through a three-phase approach:

1. Mapping: Identifying security gaps via ecosystem-wide audits.

2. Execution: Implementing near-term fixes and long-term upgrades.

3. Communication: Educating users on security standards and transparency.

Led by Fredrik Svantes (Protocol Security Lead) and Josh Stark, with experts like samczsun (SEAL) and Mehdi Zerouali (Sigma Prime), the initiative aims to secure trillions in on-chain assets.

ETH’s price surged ~50% weekly post-announcement, fueled by institutional interest and the recent Pectra upgrade,which increased staking limits and efficiency . The Foundation invites community feedback to prioritize improvements.
