#EthereumSecurityInitiative
The Ethereum Foundation has unveiled the Trillion Dollar Security Initiative (1TS), a comprehensive effort to enhance Ethereum's security infrastructure as it scales to support trillions in on-chain value. Announced on May 14, 2025, this initiative aims to make Ethereum robust enough for billions of users to confidently hold over $1,000 on-chain, and for institutions to manage up to $1 trillion within a single smart contract or decentralized application.
The 1TS initiative is structured into three phases:
1. Mapping Vulnerabilities: Assessing Ethereum's technology stack to identify vulnerabilities and strengths across domains such as wallet UX, smart contract security, and infrastructure.
2. Executing Improvements: Implementing targeted upgrades to address identified weaknesses, enhancing Ethereum’s core infrastructure without compromising usability or decentralization.
3. Educating the Community: Communicating progress and educating users on Ethereum’s security features to foster a more secure and informed ecosystem.
Led by Fredrik Svantes and Josh Stark, with contributions from security experts like Samczsun, Mehdi Zerouali, and Zach Obront, the initiative underscores Ethereum's commitment to building a secure, scalable, and decentralized future .
