#EthereumSecurityInitiative The **Ethereum Security Initiative (ESI)** is a community-driven effort to enhance the security of Ethereum's ecosystem. Focused on smart contract audits, protocol upgrades, and developer education, ESI aims to mitigate risks like hacks, bugs, and exploits. It collaborates with researchers, white-hat hackers, and core developers to identify vulnerabilities and implement safeguards. Key projects include formal verification tools, bug bounties, and best-practice guidelines for DeFi and dApp builders. By fostering a security-first culture, ESI strengthens Ethereum’s resilience against attacks, ensuring trust and sustainability for users and institutions in the decentralized web.
