Gate News update: On April 2, Ethereum Foundation program manager Hester Bruikman provided an update on the progress of the “One Trillion Security Plan (1TS)” at the EthCC[9] conference, and unveiled the WalletBeat wallet security maturity rating model. WalletBeat uses users’ security objectives as the core evaluation dimension to classify wallets into four levels: Stage 0 has virtually no security mitigation measures; Stage 0.5 covers some functions but still carries a large number of preventable loss risks; Stage 1 can protect users from attacks exploiting most common vulnerabilities; Stage 2 can protect users’ assets in complex scenarios such as cross-chain and DNS attacks. Hester said that 1TS currently prioritizes security at the user-experience layer, with a focus on driving Clear Signing forward to end the current state of blind signing, and using the WalletBeat tiered standards to force wallet manufacturers to upgrade their security. In addition, she disclosed that, by the end of March in the first quarter of 2026, Ethereum has already experienced 16 major security incidents, with losses totaling $93 million; Ethereum L1’s historical cumulative losses have exceeded $7 billion.
