EEA Releases Version 2 of the EthTrust Security Levels Specification

Standard represents a large beforehand successful ensuring information wrong the Ethereum ecosystem.

Wakefield, Mass. — December 18, 2023 — The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) has contiguous announced the merchandise of Version 2.0 of its EthTrust Security Levels Specification. 

The specification was crafted by information experts from implicit a twelve companies, including renowned names successful Ethereum information similar Diligence, OpenZeppelin, Hacken, and CertiK, arsenic good arsenic large corporations similar Banco Santander, Microsoft, and EY. Notably, it includes specializer information firms, their emblematic clientele, and autarkic experts, each moving unneurotic to elevate information measures. 

 Chaals Nevile, Director of Technical Programs astatine the EEA, said: “EthTrust represents a pivotal advancement successful ensuring information wrong the Ethereum ecosystem. It serves arsenic a broad ‘quality check’ for Ethereum, mounting a benchmark for information standards.”

A Robust Framework for Smart Contract Security

EthTrust’s superior relation is to supply a robust model for reviewing Smart Contract codification written successful Solidity, the predominant connection for Ethereum-based blockchains. This model is designed to place and rectify known information vulnerabilities, offering a precocious level of assurance successful the information and information of the code.

The superior beneficiaries of the caller specification include:

1. Developers: EthTrust reduces the workload for information reviewers by addressing cardinal issues. This translates to little costs and a heightened absorption connected uncovering analyzable oregon caller vulnerabilities.
2. Customers: It offers customers the assurance that information reviews conscionable cardinal prime standards.
3. Reviewers: Reviewers payment from a broad and existent checklist of known issues. This streamlines their regular tasks, allowing them to ore connected much intricate and originative investigation aspects of their role.

Significant Improvements 

This collaborative effort progressive a twelvemonth and a fractional of cognition sharing and systematic revision wrong EEA’s EthTrust Working Group. The attack has led to important improvements implicit the archetypal mentation released past year, showcasing EEA’s capableness for effectual ongoing attraction and updates. 

Improvements include, among different things:

• More explicit attraction of read-only re-entrancy
• Some caller bugs discovered successful the Solidity compiler
• Explicit attraction of rounding errors
• Simplification of investigating requirements to streamline the process for astir developers without compromising the quality to screen antithetic code; arsenic good as 
• Updates to the specification with recently discovered vulnerabilities and adjustments successful absorption to bespeak changing trends successful attacks. 

The caller modular provides reliable, industry-backed guidance for the broader Ethereum/EVM-based blockchain ecosystem. The caller modular is freely disposable online from EEA: EEA EthTrust Security Levels Specification.
