What should we prioritize funding in the ETHSecurity Initiatives Round? Join us this Thursday for an X Space with ETHSecurity Badge holders as we go through the initiatives and hear what they think Ethereum security needs most right now. ↓

Ethereum security people, who’s coming to @EFDevcon? We’re building the Security Hub and it would be great to have as many of us together as possible in Mumbai. If you want to speak, join a panel, run a workshop, volunteer, or just come hang out and ask good questions, reply here.

TheDAO is allocating 400 ETH to the ETHSecurity Initiatives Round via @blossom_labs' Blossom Budgeting. To be eligible for funding, Initiatives will need to meet certain funding thresholds. Read all the details here 👇

Ethereum security gets stronger when the ecosystem funds the infrastructure everyone depends on. We’re excited to announce a collaborative effort with the @ethereumfndn on the End-to-End Formally Verified Vyper Compiler grant, now live in the ETHSecurity Initiatives Round. Vyper contracts are audited and verified at the source-code level, but Ethereum executes bytecode. Everything in between depends on the compiler preserving the meaning of what developers wrote. This grant funds work toward a machine-checked proof that @vyperlang compilation preserves source semantics, plus the infrastructure to re-verify supported releases. The goal is a public --verified compilation mode in the official Vyper compiler, with documented guarantees and real production adoption. The Ethereum Foundation has pledged $100K toward the initiative. Now we have a chance to bring the ecosystem together around one of the deepest layers of Ethereum security and help build a future where critical smart contract code can be verified all the way down to bytecode. Support the initiative:

Onchain security is everyone’s problem and nobody’s job. ETHSecurity Initiatives is how we are changing that. Propose the work. Fund the work. Build the work.

$1.9M of capital allocated for security so far, and @thedaofund has been in place for less than a year. But numbers are not impact. We have something HUGE coming for Security, and YOU are a part of it. Come learn about it at @EthTaipei today - 14:15!

I have been DEEP down the Ethereum Security rabbit hole for a long time now... And I have some thoughts.... #6# is the most important #1# We spend too much $$ on security in our industry #2# We don't coordinate on shared security enough #3# We don't listen to the white hats nearly enough #4# We don't listen to the victims nearly enough #5# We don't invest in prevention nearly enough #6# We don't invest in SAFETY nearly enough I'm lucky to be put in a position to address these issues with @thedaofund

What happened after the Ethereum Security QF Round? 100+ project updates are now live on TheDAO’s transparency page. See what teams did after the round, how they used the funds, and what their work is making possible for Ethereum security. ↓

"Ethereum is super secure but its not safe" 10 years after The DAO changed Ethereum forever, Griff Green is building The DAO Fund. 75,000 ETH remained untouched for years. Now its staking yield is now funding public goods for Ethereum security. We cover: - The inside story of The DAO & its recovery - How @thedaofund is funding Ethereum security - Quadratic funding, grants & public goods - Why phishing remains Ethereum's biggest waekness - Can Ethereum become safer than banks @griffgreen certainly thinks so.

Ethereum security benefits everyone. So who pays to protect it? 🤔 @griffgreen is joining Devcon 8 to unpack the “tragedy of the security commons” and what it takes to sustainably fund the work that keeps Ethereum secure. Catch his talk on the Security track this November!
