UBS and Nethermind tested two infrastructure-level controls for public Ethereum: policy enforcement at transaction submission and routing approved transactions to selected builders. Both PoCs ran on Sepolia, with no live transactions.

AI coding assistants can scaffold Solidity, draft tests, and explain concepts in seconds, but they also reproduce the insecure patterns in their training data. We look at where AI helps smart contract work, where it falls short, and how to keep human review and verification in control of what ships.

Ethereum has come through four major operational cases, including the Merge, without permanent finality loss, and with no single operator or SLA behind it. This report sets out eight dimensions institutions can use to assess a public network's operational resilience, applies them to Ethereum's record, and names what still need to be monitored.

Nethermind Security audited Holonym's Aztec Bridge, the cross-chain system that combines Proof of Humanity credentials with Aztec's privacy features. The review uncovered signature replay and state update issues across Ethereum and Aztec contracts, all resolved before mainnet deployment.
