Solana Foundation Launches STRIDE Security Program
Summary
The Solana Foundation has introduced STRIDE (Solana Trust, Resilience and Infrastructure for DeFi Enterprises), a new security auditing framework for Solana-based protocols, in partnership with Asymmetric Research. This initiative aims to evaluate, monitor, and escalate security across Solana projects by assessing protocols against eight key pillars: program security, governance and access control, oracle and dependency risk, infrastructure security, supply chain security, operational security, monitoring and incident response, and log management and forensics. Findings will be publicly published to provide transparency to users and investors. Alongside STRIDE, the foundation also announced the Solana Incident Response Network (SIRN), a network of security firms designed for real-time incident response within the Solana ecosystem, facilitating threat intelligence sharing and coordinated responses. These measures come in response to a rise in DeFi exploits, including a recent $280 million attack on the Drift Protocol and a $40 million drain from Step Finance, partly amplified by AI agents.
