Announcing the Trillion Dollar Security Initiative

The Ethereum Foundation has announced the Trillion Dollar Security initiative, an ecosystem-wide effort to upgrade Ethereum's security to help bring the world onchain. This initiative aims to make Ethereum a civilization-scale infrastructure that securely underpins the internet and global economy, surpassing the safety and trustworthiness of legacy systems. The goal is to create a world where billions of individuals and institutions are comfortable storing trillions of dollars on Ethereum. The initiative is driven by the need to ensure that Ethereum can securely handle vast amounts of value, making it a reliable foundation for the global economy.

Key Ideas

Initiative Overview: The Trillion Dollar Security initiative has three main components: mapping the landscape of security strengths and attack vectors across Ethereum's technology stack, executing improvements in identified focus areas, and communicating more effectively about Ethereum's security.
Project Contributors: The project is co-chaired by Fredrik Svantes and Josh Stark from the Ethereum Foundation. They are supported by three ecosystem stewards: samczsun, Mehdi Zerouali, and Zach Obront, who bring extensive experience in blockchain security and research.
