TheDAO is back. BULLISH A decade later, we’re opening a new chapter. TheDAO Security Fund: activating 75,000 ETH to strengthen Ethereum security. thedao.fund/

One of the best parts of the Ethereum Security QF Round was seeing ETHSecurity Badge holders show up and participate. Some of Ethereum's most experienced security contributors took the time to review projects, donate, and help direct funding across the ecosystem. We'll share more data soon, but thank you for making the experiment worth running. 🛡️

The best time to fund Ethereum security was yesterday. The second best time is today.

We want a future where using Ethereum is safer than using a bank.

A more secure Ethereum is a goal that extends well beyond any single team, project, or organization. That's a powerful thing to coordinate around.

One thing the Ethereum Security QF Round made clear: There is far more security work happening across the ecosystem than most people realize. What project did you discover during the round?

Projects, check your wallets! The Ethereum Security QF Round matching funds have officially been sent. 638 ETH allocated across 134 projects building a safer Ethereum. 🛡️ Huge thanks to every donor, badgeholder and contributor who helped make this round possible.

We are excited to collaborate with @collectrs on Narrow Escape! This special artifact reflects TheDAO’s journey from one of Ethereum’s defining moments to its renewed focus on funding security for the ecosystem.

We're live! 🛡️ Join us with @wintermute_t, @Quantstamp, @sigp_io , @chain_security and @Certora as we wrap up the Ethereum Security QF Round and discuss the future of Ethereum security funding.

Ethereum security is an ecosystem effort 🛡️ Tomorrow we'll hear from @wintermute_t, @Quantstamp, @sigp_io , @Certora, and @chain_security on why they supported the round and where Ethereum security funding should go next. 👇 x.com/i/spaces/1YxNrrvEqYNxw…

We'll be joining @Giveth for this one! Rabib Islam @rabizzzy, Senior Research Engineer at Quantstamp, will hop on to chat all things Ethereum security and the round 🫶 See you there 👇

What happens when Ethereum decides to fund security together? 🛡️ Join us Wednesday for the Ethereum Security QF Round wrap-up Space. We’ll unpack the results, hear from contributors and share key takeaways from the round. 👇 x.com/i/spaces/1YxNrrvEqYNxw…

Our first funding round was a massive success! Congratulations to all the Ethereum security projects collecting about $1.6M in total and to Giveth for organizing a fantastic QF Round. What started as a 500 ETH matching pool ultimately grew to 637 ETH thanks to ecosystem contributions. Shout out to @wintermute_t for adding $200K to the matching pool and to @Quantstamp whose early $50K donation helped kick off momentum for direct matching pool contributions across the round. We also saw over $300k in direct donations to 134 projects! Our hope is that one day using Ethereum will be safer than using banks. To get to that day we believe it will require a community effort. This round validates that approach.

🛡️ The results for the @thedaofund’s Ethereum Security QF Round are LIVE! This historic round is closing with a HUGE last minute contribution: @wintermute_t has added $200K to the matching pool 🔥 Wintermute is a well known liquidity provider, and one of the leading supporters of Ethereum security, in fact exactly a year ago today they donated $1M to @_SEAL_Org. This year they teamed up with TheDAO, @Quantstamp & several other community partners to allocate over $1.6M worth of funding to Ethereum Security Public Goods 👇

Crypto's security is mostly invisible when it's working, and unmissable when it isn't The work that keeps it working is what decides whether any of the rest of it holds Glad to be contributing to Ethereum's security ⟶ More here: x.com/wintermute_t/status/20…

I think May 27th just became a crypto holiday.

Ethereum, every day.
