The Ethereum Foundation announced that the ETH Rangers project, co-initiated by the foundation, has completed its six-month operation. The project aims to fund independent researchers who make public security contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem. The 17 grantees achieved multiple outcomes in vulnerability research, security tool development, threat intelligence, and incident response, including: recovering or freezing over $5.8 million in funds, reporting or documenting 785+ vulnerabilities and client issues, identifying approximately 100 attackers, delivering security education content reaching over 209,000 users, and handling 36+ security incidents. Additionally, the project spurred participation from 800+ teams in security challenges, generated 80+ technical presentations and training sessions, and developed or improved more than seven open-source security tools. The Ethereum Foundation stated that these results demonstrate that decentralized networks require a "decentralized defense" and significantly enhance the overall security and resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem.
