Solana Foundation Launches Major Security Overhaul With 24/7 Threat Monitoring And Incident Response Network
@SolanaFndn announced a new wave of security initiatives led by Asymmetric Research. STRIDE will evaluate DeFi protocols across eight security pillars, with findings published publicly. All protocols above $10M TVL get 24/7 active threat monitoring funded by Foundation grants.
Protocols above $100M TVL will receive Foundation-funded formal verification, a mathematical proof-based method that checks every possible execution path. A new Solana Incident Response Network (SIRN) brings together Asymmetric Research, OtterSec, Neodyme, Squads, and ZeroShadow for real-time crisis response.
Free security tools are now available to all Solana builders, including Hypernative threat detection, Range Security alerting, Neodyme's Riverguard attack simulation, and Sec3's X-Ray static analysis.
The push comes five days after the $285M Drift Protocol hack on April 1, the largest DeFi exploit of 2026 and the second-largest in Solana's history.
