Uniswap Foundation Security Fund Cohort 2 Projects Applications Are Now Open!

Dear Uniswap Ecosystem Builders,

We’re excited to announce that applications for Cohort 2 of the Uniswap Foundation Security Fund (UFSF) are now open! This subsidy fund is designed to make security accessible to all projects building in the Uniswap ecosystem by covering up to 100% of audit costs.

Key Dates

Applications are open now and will close on March 5, 2025, 23:59 UTC.

Success Stories from Cohort 1

Our first cohort demonstrated the vital importance of accessible security audits. Here’s what some subsidy recipients shared:

  1. “Security is always the priority. You can miss a marketing opportunity or deadline and recover. It’s much harder to recover trust after a hack.” - Bunni Protocol (Bunni - The Shapeshifting Exchange)​

  2. “The audit allows us to move forward with confidence, knowing that our code meets the highest standards of security, so we can focus more on user education and growth.” - Unicord - Lumisfi (@lumisfi_)

  3. “The UFSF audit allows us to go to audit faster in order to audit the core interest rate AMM piece of the Tenor protocol.” - Tenor Finance (Tenor FinanceTenor)​

Who Can Apply?
