Ethereum Foundation Launches “Trillion Dollar Security” Initiative
Ethereum is setting its sights on a new frontier: becoming the most trusted financial infrastructure on Earth.
On May 14, 2025, the Ethereum Foundation unveiled the Trillion Dollar Security (1TS) initiative, an ambitious project aimed at upgrading Ethereum’s security stack to support trillions of dollars in onchain value.
Raising the Bar Beyond Crypto
Ethereum already leads the blockchain space in security. But according to the Foundation, that’s no longer enough. The goal now is to surpass even legacy financial systems by building infrastructure that billions of people and institutions can rely on with confidence.
The vision:
-
A world where individuals confidently store over $1,000 each onchain.
-
A world where institutions trust Ethereum to secure over $1 trillion in a single smart contract.
What the Trillion Dollar Security Project Will Deliver
The initiative focuses on three core actions:
-
Comprehensive Risk Mapping
The Foundation will audit Ethereum’s full technology stack, from wallet UX and smart contracts to consensus protocols and cloud dependencies. A public security report will highlight areas of strength and pinpoint gaps needing urgent attention. -
Targeted Upgrades and Long-Term Fixes
With priorities identified, the Foundation will work alongside the community to deploy immediate patches and fund critical, longer-term security improvements. -
Clearer Public Communication
Ethereum’s security benefits will be made more transparent and comparable to other platforms—so that users, developers, and institutions can easily evaluate and trust the platform.
