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!

If you’re at ETHTaipei tomorrow, go catch @Pol_Lanski on the Consensus Stage.
What happens when critical Ethereum security work has no natural customer?
Pol Lanski @Pol_Lanski, CEO of @dappnode and Curator at TheDAO Security Fund @thedaofund, is joining ETHTaipei 2026.
In “The hack that broke Ethereum comes back to save it: The DAO Returns,” Pol will explore how TheDAO Security Fund identifies security needs across Ethereum, turns them into targeted RFPs, finds teams to take them on, and coordinates funders to support work that might otherwise remain unfunded.
The goal is simple: help make important Ethereum security work happen when no single protocol or organization can justify funding it alone.

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

"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 is about to get a lot more coordinated.
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!

The biggest cross-ecosystem security push to this date is on the way.

Update on SCAR (AI retrieval for smart contract security), funded in the Ethereum Security QF round: $2,363 in donations + 2.21 ETH matching.
Thank you @thedaofund @quantstamp @wintermute_t for the matching pool, @Giveth @griffgreen for running the round, and everyone who donated to an open-source security project built by one person.
This update is late. That's on me. Here's where the money went, what it built, and what's next.
