The Ethereum Foundation has launched an ambitious security initiative aimed at strengthening the blockchain’s infrastructure as it moves toward global financial integration.
The program, known as “Trillion Dollar Security,” is designed to pinpoint and address systemic vulnerabilities that could undermine Ethereum’s future.
The Foundation’s first public assessment highlights six areas demanding urgent attention: smart contract safety, user interface weaknesses, overdependence on centralized infrastructure, consensus protocol robustness, incident response procedures, and system-wide monitoring.
Rather than rushing to solutions, the team is first building a roadmap. This initial report serves as a diagnostic stage. The next phase will involve prioritizing risks and partnering with community developers to tackle the most critical issues.
The initiative arrives amid internal reforms. Ethereum’s core R&D unit recently underwent staffing changes and a leadership overhaul. Aya Miyaguchi, a veteran member of the Foundation, has stepped into the newly created role of president, signaling a fresh era of governance.
As part of this broader reorganization, the Ethereum Foundation also updated its treasury model to better manage resources and respond to critiques of delayed progress. The combined steps reflect a more focused, transparent approach to scaling Ethereum securely and sustainably.
