We’re excited to announce the Uniswap Foundation Security Fund!
With a fund size of USD $1M created through a Uniswap Foundation grant, the Uniswap Foundation Security Fund will subsidize up to 100% of the auditing fees of security services for eligible projects building Uniswap v4 hooks.
The fund is designed to help projects on the Uniswap Protocol by:
Connecting projects with top-tier security audit firms
Bundling buying power across the Uniswap Protocol’s ecosystem for better terms
Subsidizing audit costs by up to 100% for eligible projects
How does the fund work?
Security audit service providers can apply to be whitelisted by submitting an application starting October 25. Whitelisted providers will join a marketplace where projects can request quotes for audit services.
Only traditional audit firms are eligible—no bug bounty programs or contests. Prior experience with Uniswap v4 audits is highly encouraged; a lack thereof can only be substituted by outstanding other experience.
How do projects receive the subsidy?
Projects building Uniswap v4 hooks can apply for a subsidy through a separate process that will be announced soon. Successful projects can receive up to 100% coverage of audit fees.
You can find more information by visiting the Uniswap Foundation Security Fund Notion Hub here.
Both providers and projects can express their interest by submitting this Declaration of Interest Form here.
Let’s make the Uniswap Protocol more secure together!
