As of May 18, 2025, the Ethereum Foundation has officially rolled out its most ambitious security project yet — the Trillion Dollar Security (1TS) Initiative.
Announced just days earlier on May 14, this program isn’t just another upgrade. It’s a strategic mission to prepare Ethereum for trillions of dollars in value and billions of users — securely, efficiently, and transparently.

🔐 The 1TS Initiative: What’s It All About?
The 1TS plan unfolds across three key phases, each laser-focused on strengthening Ethereum’s core:
1. Comprehensive Risk Assessment
Deep vulnerability scans across smart contracts, wallet UX, consensus layers, and even internet routing infrastructure.
2. Targeted Remediation
Real solutions. This means stronger wallets, safer contracts, and smarter infrastructure.
3. Improved Safety Communication
Because what good is security if people don’t understand it? The initiative includes open, accessible resources to educate devs, users, and institutions.

Led by Experts. Backed by Ethereum.
This initiative is spearheaded by Fredrik Svantes and Josh Stark, with contributions from industry legends like Samczsun, Mehdi Zerouali, and Zach Obront.
These aren’t just names — these are the minds securing the future of Web3.

🌐 Why This Matters
Ethereum isn’t playing small anymore. With institutional capital flowing in and DeFi continuing to grow, security is non-negotiable.
The 1TS Initiative is Ethereum’s way of saying: “We’re ready.”
Ready to hold the weight of the world’s digital economy. Ready to be the backbone of global finance.
⸻
Alpha isn’t just trading.
Alpha is knowing what’s coming next.
And what’s coming… is a stronger, smarter Ethereum.
