TL;DR
- Dashboard Launch: The Ethereum Foundation released the One Trillion Dollar Security Dashboard to improve transparency across six key security dimensions, helping users and institutions track Ethereum’s progress.
- Attack Vector Discovery: Researchers identified a high‑severity ERC‑4337 vulnerability that allowed malicious actors to force valid transactions to revert while still consuming gas, prompting a $50,000 bounty reward.
- Impact and Patch: Although the vulnerability affected about 1.7 million transactions, its real‑world impact was limited, the Foundation patched the issue quickly.
The Ethereum Foundation has introduced the One Trillion Dollar Security Dashboard, a public tool designed to give users, developers, and institutions a clearer view of Ethereum’s overall security posture. The launch is part of the broader Trillion Dollar Security initiative, which aims to prepare the network to support trillions of dollars in onchain value while maintaining resilience and trustworthiness. The dashboard arrives at a critical moment, following the discovery of a high‑severity attack vector affecting ERC‑4337 transactions.

A New Dashboard Built for Civilization‑Scale Infrastructure
The dashboard is positioned as a foundational step in making Ethereum’s security progress more transparent and easier to evaluate. As part of the Trillion Dollar Security initiative introduced last May, it seeks to help the network evolve into infrastructure capable of supporting billions of users. The tool aggregates information across the ecosystem to show where Ethereum is strong, where improvements are needed, and where work is already underway. Its purpose is to make complex security data more digestible for both technical and nontechnical audiences.
The dashboard evaluates six core dimensions of Ethereum’s security. These include user experience, smart contract security, consensus protocol, monitoring and incident response, and the social layer and governance. By presenting these areas in a structured format, the Foundation aims to give stakeholders a clearer understanding of the network’s strengths and vulnerabilities. The dashboard is intended to evolve over time as new insights and improvements emerge across the ecosystem.
High‑Severity Attack Vector Discovered and Patched
The dashboard’s release closely follows the Ethereum Foundation’s decision to award a $50,000 bug bounty to researchers who uncovered a high‑severity attack vector impacting ERC‑4337. The issue allowed malicious actors to trigger certain account‑abstraction transactions to revert while still paying for gas. Although the vector was linked to censorship and griefing rather than fund theft, the Ethereum Foundation emphasized that the vulnerability required immediate attention. A patch has already been deployed to address the issue.
Despite the severity of the vector, its real‑world impact was limited because the vulnerable transaction type represented a small portion of activity. Still, around 1.7 million vulnerable ERC‑4337 transactions were sent over the past week, accounting for roughly 9 percent of all Ethereum transactions. The Ethereum Foundation noted that discovering the issue now was crucial, as broader adoption could have amplified its effects.
