Solana Foundation Launches Stride and SIRN to Strengthen Ecosystem Security

According to the Solana Foundation, STRIDE is a new security framework developed with Asymmetric Research to audit Solana-based protocols and improve ecosystem-wide risk monitoring and incident coordination.

Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by the official Solana Foundation source, 'Raising the Bar on Solana Ecosystem Security'. That page says SIRN is a 'dedicated network of security firms and researchers' whose members will 'share threat intelligence' and 'coordinate response to active incidents,' which matches the statement about real-time incident response. The same source explicitly lists founding participants including Asymmetric Research, OtterSec, and Neodyme. It also says several external security services and tools are available to all Solana ecosystem projects 'at no cost,' including Hypernative, Range Security, Neodyme’s Riverguard, Sec3, and AuditWare. PANews and BlockBeats both independently summarize the same points, reinforcing the official announcement.

Summary

The Solana Foundation said in an official announcement that it has unveiled STRIDE, a security framework developed with Asymmetric Research to audit Solana-based protocols and strengthen risk monitoring. The new announcement adds that STRIDE is designed to assess projects within the Solana ecosystem, reinforcing the foundation’s broader security push alongside SIRN. Earlier foundation details said STRIDE and SIRN are part of a coordinated effort spanning security evaluation, 24-hour monitoring for certain DeFi protocols, and real-time incident response involving firms such as Asymmetric Research, OtterSec, and Neodyme, with additional security tools provided by Hypernative, Range Security, and Neodyme.
