Ethereum Foundation Cites $76B Security Moat in New Policy Guide

The Ethereum Foundation has published a new policy guide that highlights the decentralized nature of its blockchain and compares it to early internet infrastructure.

The guide emphasizes Ethereum's resilience, noting that there have been no major outages since 2015 and citing data from OpenZeppelin that shows $76 billion in ETH is currently staked on the blockchain.

This would make an attacker's risk too high, even if they were to risk around $50.7 billion minus slashing.

The guide also notes that Ethereum's decentralized governance model allows anyone with a standard computer and 32 ETH to run their own validator, unlike many other alternative networks.
