Unclaimed funds from the infamous 2016 TheDAO hack are being repurposed into a $220 million security endowment for Ethereum. TheDAO Security Fund will allocate capital through DAO mechanisms to projects enhancing Ethereum mainnet, layer 2s, smart contract security, infrastructure, and user protection. A large portion of previously unclaimed ETH will be staked to generate ongoing funding, marking a strategic reinvestment of legacy funds to bolster the ecosystem's resilience.
