The Trillion Dollar Security Dashboard analyzes Ethereum's security across six key dimensions with 92 control mechanisms, 32 of which have been deployed across the entire ecosystem.
The Ethereum Foundation has just launched the Trillion Dollar Security Dashboard, a comprehensive blockchain security assessment tool designed to provide a holistic picture of Ethereum 's security status. This tool aggregates structured data on key risks, existing safeguards, and the progress of security solution deployments across the entire protocol ecosystem, highlighting the network's existing strengths as well as its vulnerabilities.
The dashboard is built on six core security dimensions. The user experience dimension focuses on risks related to interfaces and interactive tools such as key management, transaction readability, permission controls, and privacy, with 29 identified control mechanisms.
Of these, 7 mechanisms have been implemented, 13 are under active development, and 8 are in the research phase. The smart contract security dimension covers source code vulnerabilities and the quality of developer tools with 13 control mechanisms, including 4 active mechanisms and 7 under implementation.
Multidimensional analysis from infrastructure to governance.
Regarding infrastructure and cloud computing, the risk analysis tool focuses on Layer 2 protocol-level risk, RPC infrastructure, and software supply chain through 17 safeguards, of which 8 are operational and 6 are under deployment. The consensus protocol dimension focuses on the resilience of the core protocol, client diversity, and concentrated risk in Staking with 15 control mechanisms, including 4 deployed and 7 in the research phase, encompassing long-term threats from quantum computing.
The monitoring, incident response, and mitigation dimension assesses the ability to detect attacks, coordinate responses, and mitigate damage without centralized intervention through 10 security measures, 6 of which are currently operational. Finally, the social and governance layer XEM non-technical risks related to ecosystem members, decision-making processes, asset concentration levels in Staking , and regulatory pressures with 8 control mechanisms, including 3 implemented and 5 under development.
The developers emphasized that the current version is only the first implementation and will continue to be refined. The project is envisioned as a living tool, capable of adapting to changing threats and the evolution of the ecosystem. The Ethereum Foundation is calling on the community and experts to submit proposals to improve this evaluation system, especially in light of Vitalik Buterin's assertion that the team has effectively solved the trinity between decentralization, security, and scalability.
