#EthereumSecurityInitiative

#EthereumSecurityInitiative, formally the Trillion Dollar Security Initiative (1TS), is a 2025 Ethereum Foundation project to fortify the blockchain’s security for global-scale adoption. Launched May 14, 2025, it aims to make Ethereum secure enough for billions to hold $1,000+ on-chain and institutions to store over $1 trillion in a single smart contract. The initiative has three phases: mapping vulnerabilities across UX, wallets, smart contracts, infrastructure, and consensus protocols; executing immediate fixes and long-term upgrades; and communicating security standards transparently. Led by Fredrik Svantes and Josh Stark, with advisors Samczsun, Mehdi Zerouali, and Zach Obront, it seeks community input for a comprehensive security overhaul. Ethereum’s $80B DeFi dominance and recent Pectra upgrade underscore its ambition to surpass legacy financial systems, despite past hacks costing billions.
