The DeFi Education Fund has formed a cybersecurity coalition with two security groups, aiming to tighten blockchain protocol defenses and influence how US lawmakers write crypto legislation.
The Open Protocol Security Coalition, or OPSeC, launched June 23. Its partners include the Security Alliance, known as SEAL, and the research firm Asymmetric Research. The coalition plans to create a shared hub for security resources, best practices, and intelligence on emerging threats.
Amanda Tuminelli, DEF’s CEO, said the group wants to “amplify access to existing cybersecurity expertise while engaging with policymakers.” Samczsun, who runs SEAL, said integrating technical frameworks into policy discussions is a priority.
The timing matches a busy stretch in Washington. Lawmakers are pushing forward with bills like the CLARITY Act, which aims to clarify how digital assets are classified and regulated. A coalition that speaks the language of both coders and legislators could help steer rules away from one-size-fits-all approaches.
