3/3 Tax Token · Funding Ethereum Security

The DAO is back to defend Ethereum.

A token built for one mission: turning trading activity into a living, transparent fund for the projects and people that make Ethereum safer.

Fund Thesis

A collective wallet for Ethereum security public goods.

TheDAO Fund is positioned around a 3/3 tax token model: token activity routes funding into Ethereum security through contract-level tax collection — no manual donation needed.

The site surfaces the public recipient wallet, curator credibility, and a live total of the amount raised — updated on every Ethereum block.

What is Ethereum Security?

Initiatives that make Ethereum safer.

Wallet UX

Safer signing flows, clearer prompts, and fewer user-facing mistakes.

Key Management & OpSec

Better custody practices for teams, operators, multisigs, and contributors.

Smart Contract Security

Audits, reviews, formal checks, and tools that reduce protocol risk.

Infrastructure & Cloud Services

Reliable node, validator, and cloud infrastructure for Ethereum.

Monitoring & Threat Detection

Early warning systems for exploits, anomalies, bridges, and live protocols.

Incident Response

Rapid coordination when vulnerabilities, exploits, or emergencies appear.

Standards

Shared specifications that make safer integrations easier to build.

L2 & Bridge Security

Protection for rollups, bridges, cross-chain flows, and settlement layers.

Core Protocol Security

Research and engineering that hardens Ethereum itself.

Token Funding Flow

Every taxed trade can become security funding.

01 Token Activity Buys and sells create protocol tax. 3/3 Tax
02 Collection The token contract tracks collected ETH. On-chain
03 Public Total The amount raised is shown clearly. Live
04 Recipient Funds route to the security wallet. Verified
05 Impact Ethereum security projects receive support. Charity

Origin Story

The 2016 DAO recovery becomes a new security mandate.

In 2016, funds recovered from The DAO hack were made claimable by TheDAO Curators with the intention that any unclaimed assets would support Ethereum security.

Nearly a decade later, those idle funds can become a long-term engine for audits, infrastructure, incident response, standards, protocol security, and security-focused public goods.

Stand With Ethereum

One token. One mission. One shared chain to defend.

Hold the token, watch the fund grow on-chain.
