Ethereum Security Upgrade: Can It Really Prevent Hackers? What Should Retail Investors Do?

The Ethereum Foundation has launched the 'Three-Phase Security Plan', but large-scale security adoption is still a long way off.

1. Smart Contracts: Auditing ≠ Security
• In 2023, DeFi lost $3.8 billion due to vulnerabilities, and audited projects still faced issues (e.g., Fei Protocol).
• Solutions
- Require project teams to stake ETH as 'vulnerability insurance'
- AI real-time monitoring of abnormal transactions (e.g., Forta)

2. Node Centralization: The Hidden Dangers of PoS
• Lido + Coinbase control 45% of staking, and centralized RPC nodes like Infura become single points of failure.
• Breakthrough: Lower the threshold for home nodes and penalize large whale staking pools.

3. User Self-Rescue: No Matter How Advanced the Technology, Accidental Clicks Can Happen
• 23% of users have mistakenly clicked phishing links (MetaMask data).
• Recommendations:
- SIM card binding with a 'self-destruct switch' to prevent theft
- On-chain emergency voting rollback (e.g., ETC plan)

4. Regulatory Risks: SEC's 'Securitization' Threat
• If nodes require KYC, decentralization would be rendered meaningless.
• Countermeasures: Promote privacy Layer2 (e.g., Aztec) to hide transactions.

Summary: Security is a long-term battle, and retail investors should —
✅ Use hardware wallets
✅ Store seed phrases offline
✅ Don't go All In on one address

Otherwise, your assets may be more vulnerable than meme coins 🚨
