One trembles to imagine what heights of self-importance Ethereum next aims to scale, as the Ethereum Foundation—apparently unsatisfied until the planet resembles one vast digital ledger—has now unfurled its so-called “Trillion Dollar Security” initiative. The intention? To fortify its disconcertingly abstract infrastructure until it bears up beneath not millions, not billions, but trillions (yes, trillions) of dollars. Civilization itself might rest on shakier ground.
The scheme, revealed on May 14 (one hopes accompanied by brass bands and fanfare), signals ETH’s ambitions to dethrone those dull old financial systems; outdoing not simply the bank manager, but — with a little luck — the very concept of cash itself.
At the helm: Fredrik Svantes, a man one suspects polishes his title, “Protocol Security Lead”, before breakfast, and Josh Stark, who seems to keep things from spiraling entirely off-key at the EF management salon.
Whispers—nay, bullish roars—echo that such bluster might drag ETH’s price skywards, as investors scramble to imagine themselves rolling upon velvet mountains of institutional trust (the rarest and least observable of all crypto assets, as any old hand will note). If charts are your thing, yesterday saw Ethereum revel in a most becoming 3.68% leap, which no one begrudges after such a tiresomely earnest initiative. More importantly, ETH’s price—never one to be outdone—has surged over 50% in a week, apparently because everyone loves an upgrade, or at least the idea of being upgraded.
Three Program Phases: Now With Even More PowerPoints
Yes, the plan is divided into three “phases”—one must have phases, lest things seem haphazard. First, the prospect of mapping vulnerabilities and strengths across the chaos of Ethereum’s tech stack: a tour so exhaustive one imagines endless PowerPoint slides, each less comprehensible than the last. Wallet design, smart contracts, consensus protocols—the lot.
Next up: the painstaking act of actually improving things, an undertaking as fraught as making democracy run on time.
Finally, the pièce de résistance: explaining to the public how secure and serious Ethereum really is, presumably with infographics, bullet points, and the vague scent of existential dread.
A host of luminaries have been rallied for the cause, including samczsun (who, in a delightful breach of tradition, both founds organizations and moonlights as security oracle), Mehdi Zerouali (of Sigma Prime, presumably superior to Sigma Mediocre), and Zach Obront (co-founder of something called Etherealize, which, like most Ethereum projects, sounds deliciously intangible).
Lastly—because even the most rarefied initiatives must pay lip service to process—the Foundation is flinging wide its doors to “the community.” Auditors, users, and perhaps anyone with a working email address are invited to share feedback via a form. Sometimes, one supposes, the true security is in the friends one makes along the way. 🚀💸
