On May 14, 2025, the Ethereum Foundation officially launched the "Trillion Dollar Security Program" aimed at elevating network security to "civilization-level infrastructure" standards, supporting the secure storage of trillions of dollars in on-chain assets. The program is divided into three core phases:

Security Situation Assessment

The first phase comprehensively maps the security landscape of the Ethereum technology stack, covering user experience (such as blind signing risks, front-end security), wallet security (firmware vulnerabilities, supply chain attacks), smart contract development tools, consensus protocol DDoS resistance capability, and network infrastructure (such as DNS censorship) across 16 areas, providing data support for subsequent improvements through systematic vulnerability identification.

Layered Improvement Implementation

Based on the assessment results, high-risk vulnerabilities (such as the recently discovered issue of staking centralization) will be prioritized for remediation, while also initiating long-term security enhancement projects, including optimizing smart contract development standard libraries and enhancing cloud dependency management security. During the execution process, collaborations will be made with security organizations such as Paradigm and Sigma Prime.

Security Standards Popularization

Establish a user-friendly security information communication system that allows ordinary users to intuitively compare the security performance of Ethereum with traditional systems. By educating the community, the aim is to lower the security awareness threshold, and a quantifiable security assessment framework will be developed to help institutional investors build trust.

Key Impact: This program is led by Fredrik Svantes, the protocol security head of the Ethereum Foundation, in collaboration with top security experts like SEAL founder samczsun, widely soliciting community suggestions through an open feedback form (webpage 6). This move not only consolidates Ethereum's leading position in tokenized assets (currently holding a market share of 58%) and RWA fields but also lays the foundation for supporting trillion-dollar level assets from institutions such as BlackRock.
