This multi-phase project aims to ensure the network can securely handle trillions of dollars and billions of users.
*Key Objectives:*
- *Comprehensive Risk Assessment*: Identify vulnerabilities across critical areas like smart contract architecture, wallet user experience, consensus security, and internet routing vulnerabilities.
- *Technical Solutions and Developer Awareness*: Implement fixes, enhance security infrastructure, and promote developer awareness.
- *Security Transparency*: Develop methods for users and developers to benchmark Ethereum's security posture against other blockchains and traditional financial systems.
*Initiative Leadership:*
- Fredrik Svantes, Protocol Security Research lead
- Josh Stark, Ethereum Foundation management team member
- External experts: Samczsun, Mehdi Zerouali, and Zach Obront
*Goals:*
- Enable billions of individuals to safely hold over $1,000 on-chain, collectively amounting to trillions of dollars.
- Allow institutions to comfortably store over $1 trillion in a single contract or application.
*Impact:*
- Enhance Ethereum's dominance in DeFi, with total value locked (TVL) currently sitting at around $80 billion.
- Increase confidence in the network, encouraging more institutions to commit funds ¹ ².
- *Technical Solutions and Developer Awareness*: Implement fixes, enhance security infrastructure, and promote developer awareness.
