The Ethereum Foundation has launched the "Trillion-Level Security" initiative aimed at enhancing the security standards of the Ethereum blockchain to meet the demands of a global financial network valued at trillions of dollars. The initiative encompasses three strategic components: first, releasing a comprehensive security overview analyzing Ethereum's strengths and vulnerabilities; second, patching high-risk attack vectors; and third, strengthening the sharing of security best practices within the ecosystem. Currently, the Ethereum blockchain protects assets exceeding 63 billion USD, but the Foundation believes further security enhancements are necessary to surpass the safeguards of traditional financial infrastructure. The plan is co-led by EF protocol security lead Fredrik Svantes and management team member Josh Stark. Ecosystem guardians include SEAL 911 co-founder Samczsun, Sigma Prime co-founder Mehdi Zerouali, and Etherealize co-founder Zach Obront. This move follows the new board structure proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, aiming to uphold cypherpunk values while promoting the expansion of the DeFi network.

The Ethereum Foundation unveiled a new "trillion dollar" initiative to elevate Ethereum’s security standards to meet the demands of a global, trillion-dollar-scale financial network. The so-called "Trillion Dollar Security" initiative outlines a three-part strategy to assess and reinforce the blockchain’s infrastructure.While the Ethereum blockchain secures over $63 billion worth of assets, the foundation said further steps are needed to prepare the network for broader economic integration and ultimately surpass security guarantees offered by legacy financial infrastructure."Being the most secure platform in the crypto ecosystem isn’t enough," the foundation wrote in a blog post on Wednesday. “Ethereum’s ambition is far greater: to be civilization-scale infrastructure that securely underpins the internet and global economy, surpassing the safety and trustworthiness of the world’s legacy systems.”1TS will begin by publishing a comprehensive security overview and analyzing Ethereum’s strengths and vulnerabilities. The plan also prioritizes patching high-risk attack vectors and improving information sharing of security best practices across the ecosystem.According to the announcement, EF Protocol Security Lead Fredrik Svantes and Josh Stark from the EF management team will co-chair the effort. Additionally, 1TS will feature three ecosystem stewards, including SEAL 911 co-founder Samczsun, Sigma Prime co-founder Mehdi Zerouali, and Etherealize co-founder Zach Obront.The Trillion Dollar Security plan comes weeks after the EF and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, outlined a new board structure for the organization to maintain its cypherpunk values while onboarding new users and scaling DeFi's largest network by total value locked.
