The Solana Foundation has launched a new security auditing framework for Solana-based protocols and an incident-response network. The Solana Trust, Resilience and Infrastructure for DeFi Enterprises (STRIDE) is a program for evaluating, monitoring and escalating security across Solana projects. The initiative aims to assess the security of protocols across eight pillars including program security, governance, access control, oracle and dependency risk, infrastructure security, supply chain security, monitoring, and incident response. This announcement comes amid increasing threats to crypto protocols, with over $168 million in cryptocurrency from 34 DeFi protocols in the first quarter of 2026.
