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](https://valiant-polo-a06.notion.site/Uniswap-Security-Fund-Briefing-Page-11f2019bf07380d2ae95cf37f6c4b57d?pvs=4).
Both providers and projects can express their interest by submitting this Declaration of Interest Form [here](https://areta.fillout.com/t/dYAuwHpX6Cus).
Let’s make the Uniswap Protocol more secure together!
