Thanks to Alex Obadia , Austin Griffith , Dan Elitzer , David Phelps , Jon Charbonneau , Soham Zemse , and Waylon Jepsen from the community for reviewing and giving feedback. Today, if any developer wants to build a smart contract protocol such as a DEX, a lending protocol, etc., on Ethereum, they can inherit security from Ethereum’s trust network by simply deploying their contracts on top of Ethereum. This has ushered in a Cambrian explosion of innovative smart contract protocols on a secure platform, such as DeFi, NFTs, and more. However, until now, Ethereum’s security has only extended to s
