Ethereum Foundation awards Trillion‑Dollar Security grant to WEBCAT verification tool

The Ethereum Foundation’s Trillion Dollar Security (1TS) initiative announced a grant to the Freedom of the Press Foundation to continue development of WEBCAT, an open‑source tool that enables browsers to verify that the code served by an enrolled website matches the version published by developers. The funding will support a wallet‑facing library, research into Chromium browser support, assistance for teams integrating WEBCAT into their apps, an independent security audit and work toward an ERC standard for wallet developers.

WEBCAT is designed to close the front‑end verification gap for Ethereum wallets and applications, complementing other 1TS efforts such as Clear Signing. No timeline for completion or deployment to end users was provided.
