🚀 “Ethereum’s $1 Trillion Security Leap: Building Civilization‑Scale Trust”

The Ethereum Foundation has unveiled its Trillion Dollar Security Initiative (1TS), a bold three‑phase roadmap designed to transform Ethereum into “civilization‑scale infrastructure” capable of safeguarding trillions in on‑chain value. Led by Fredrik Svantes (Protocol Security Lead) and Josh Stark (EF management team), and supported by ecosystem stewards like samczsun, Mehdi Zerouali, and Zach Obront, the initiative begins with comprehensive mapping of all weaknesses—spanning wallet UX, smart contracts, cloud infrastructure, consensus layers, DNS censorship, and more.

Phase 2 moves swiftly into execution, deploying near‑term fixes and investments aimed at infrastructure, tooling, auditing, and protocol hardening. Finally, Phase 3 centers on transparent communication—making Ethereum’s elevated security standards clear to everyday users, developers, institutions, and even legacy financial players—so anyone can assess Ethereum’s resilience compared to traditional systems.

This launch comes at a pivotal moment: Ethereum currently secures nearly $80 billion in DeFi TVL, representing 50–60% of all locked value, and its daily on‑chain activity now spans billions in value flow (). The initiative aims to inspire institutional confidence, encouraging both individuals to safely hold over $1,000 each on-chain and large organizations to entrust $1 trillion+ in single contracts. In the long run, 1TS is more than a security upgrade—it’s about bridging the gap between Web3 and global financial systems.
