Our Focus

The EEA EthTrust Security Levels Working Group defines baseline requirements for Ethereum smart contract security audits. These serve as a certification framework for projects and audit firms to signal audit depth and quality.

The specification defines three certification levels: [S] for automated checks, [M] for manual audits, and [Q] for full logic and documentation review. Version 3 was published in March 2025.

We are also developing extensions to the STIX standard for DeFi-specific incident reporting. That work is public via the Web3 STIX Telegram Channel and the Defi for STIX GitHub repository.
