TheDAO's new chapter is funding Ethereum's security.

[thedao.fund @thedaofund]

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 @thedaofund]

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?

[thedao.fund @thedaofund]

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.

[Giveth @Giveth]

TheDAO's Ethereum Security QF Round matching funds have officially been distributed 🛡️

What started as a 500 ETH matching pool from @thedaofund ultimately grew to 638 ETH+ thanks to support from across the ecosystem.

134 projects have now received funding to continue their work strengthening Ethereum security.

A huge thank you to every donor, contributor, and project that made 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.

Eligible projects will receive an email from Giveth with instructions on how to claim their upgrade.

Huge thanks to Blockscout for supporting the teams helping keep Ethereum secure. 🛡️

[Blockscout 🔭 @blockscout]

Proud to support every project in the Ethereum Security QF Round with free Blockscout Pro API plan upgrades.

More data, more tooling, more support for the teams helping keep Ethereum secure 🛡️

[thedao.fund @thedaofund]

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.

[Giveth @Giveth]

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.

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.

[Giveth @Giveth]

🛡️ 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 👇

[Wintermute @wintermute_t]

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

The Ethereum Security QF round may be over, but support for the projects is still growing.

@TenderlyApp is contributing in a unique way: the top 10 projects in the round will receive 3 months of full platform access, valued at $1,500 each.

Tenderly is full-stack Web3 infrastructure for onchain operations, helping teams debug, monitor, and operate more reliably across Ethereum.

A great example of ecosystem support continuing beyond the round 💜

[thedao.fund @thedaofund]

The Ethereum Security QF round showed how much critical security work is happening across the ecosystem.

Now the goal is to keep building stronger, more sustainable support for the teams doing that work.

[Giveth @Giveth]

The Ethereum Security QF round brought together:

• 500 ETH matching pool from @thedaofund
• $300K+ in donations
• Additional matching pool support from @Quantstamp and @CredShields
• Dozens of teams showing up for Ethereum security

Really inspiring to see so many parts of the ecosystem come together around supporting Ethereum security.

And special thanks to the teams who stepped up with additional support across the round:

@Quantstamp, @CertiK, @sigp_io, @Certora, @chain_security, @PashovAuditGrp, @CredShields, @hackenclub, @OpenSea, @yearnfi, @osec_io, @coinspect, @dedaub, @RektHQ, @hexens, @perimeter_sec, @rv_inc, @WeAreTellor, @ECHInstitute

Stay tuned for the final results!
