All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and experienced industry insiders.
- Ethena will participate in SEAL pilots to improve and validate crypto-native operational security standards across critical workflows.
- This partnership creates a trusted framework for incident response, financial operations, multisig processes, and security.
Ethena Labs has taken it a step further by joining the SEAL Organization's Operational Security Certification Pilot Program. This step is directly related to Ethena's need to protect the operations that control the USDe synthetic stablecoin and the sUSDe staking service. So the focus was clear from the first announcement. It's about ensuring stronger operational security standards that can be tested in practice, not just promises and slogans.
This program tests how Ethena handles internal procedures and incident response flows, as well as how it protects the infrastructure that supports the product.
Ethena is proud to participate in @_SEAL_Org's pilot program for operational security certification.
SEAL builds crypto-native frameworks for incident response, multisig operations, financial operations, workspace security, and DNS security.

Ethena helped shape SEAL's initial security framework for real-world deployment
SEAL is currently building a crypto-native framework that covers several key areas including incident response, multisig operations, financial operations, workspace security, and DNS security.
The program aims to provide security guidelines that crypto projects can implement without imitating traditional sector practices, which may not be well-suited to blockchain architectures. Ethena is stepping in early to see if this framework actually holds up.
What stands out here is that Ethena doesn't just have her act together. In fact, we review and share our opinions based on ongoing projects. This pilot is just a warm-up before we go live. This gives Ethena room to experiment with the evolving standards within its ecosystem.
Not only that, the results of this test could pave the way for other projects to adopt similar standards. In other words, Ethena further opens the door to more structured security governance for the cryptocurrency sector, especially for platforms that manage large amounts of user funds.
Increased adoption increases the risk of operational security hardening
Meanwhile, CNF previously reported that Ethena launched Stablecoin-as-a-Service through Conduit in October last year. This service allows new chains to create custom stablecoins during deployment. This development repositions Ethena as a stablecoin infrastructure provider for the DeFi, RWA, and consumer blockchain ecosystems.
In this context, as Ethena's role expands from being a USDe issuer to providing the infrastructure for others, robust operational security becomes increasingly important. Therefore, it is natural that security authentication becomes a major focus.
In early October last year, Ethena Labs also partnered with UR Global to expand access to USDe to 45 countries through its neobank platform. Users will receive zero off-ramp fees, multi-currency support, and future access to Mastercard debit cards.
This move clearly shows that Ethena's reach is no longer limited to the DeFi space, but also reaches users looking for more convenient financial access. However, this cross-border expansion also brings broader operational security challenges as the movement of funds and platform interactions become more diverse.
Meanwhile, at the time of writing, ENA is approximately $0.271top 6.66% Spot trading volume over the past 24 hours was $84.76 million.
