ETH Rangers Turn Security Work Into Public Goods
The Ethereum Foundation said 17 stipend recipients recovered or froze more than $5.8 million and reported or cataloged over 785 vulnerabilities, bugs, and exploit proofs.
The Ethereum Foundation's ETH Rangers program ended its six-month run with a broad security ledger rather than one clean product launch.
The program, created with Secureum, The Red Guild, and Security Alliance, funded 17 people doing public-goods security work across the Ethereum ecosystem. The Foundation said the recipients' work helped recover or freeze more than $5.8 million, report or catalog over 785 vulnerabilities, client bugs, and proof-of-concept exploits, identify about 100 state-linked operatives, handle more than 36 incident responses, and publish or improve at least seven open-source tooling projects.
