Since the declaration of the Trillion Dollar Security initiative<\/a>, we have assessed the ecosystem to determine which enhancements are of utmost importance to each layer of the Ethereum framework and community.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now is the moment to embark on the subsequent stage of this endeavor: addressing the most critical issues we encounter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this initial round of actions, we will primarily concentrate on UX challenges. Our analysis indicated that these are the most pressing concerns for both individual and institutional Ethereum users and those utilizing Ethereum-based applications.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During this initial phase, we will commence a series of efforts aimed at pivotal areas in UX security. The initiatives we initiate today represent a mix of impactful short-term actions and long-term projects, which we anticipate will extend over several years. We plan to continuously launch new phases of projects, addressing various priority security sectors over time. As these initiatives gain traction in the upcoming weeks and months, we will shift our focus to the next set of priorities encompassing other sectors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As always, we are enthusiastic to assist and collaborate with others striving to enhance Ethereum\u2019s security and ensure Ethereum is safer for billions of users and trillions of dollars of on-chain assets. Connect with us at trilliondollarsecurity@ethereum.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The wallet UX is where security starts for every Ethereum user. If users cannot securely manage keys, sign transactions, and engage with on-chain applications, then utilizing Ethereum is not safe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We believe the Ethereum ecosystem should create and adopt a minimum security benchmark for wallets, which can act as a reliable and authentic reference for which wallets are secure for everyday Ethereum users. We think this standard should mandate features such as:<\/p>\n
