Ethereum Foundation Unveils Audit Subsidy Program to Cut Security Costs for Developers

The Ethereum Foundation said on X on April 14 (UTC+8) that it has launched the "Ethereum Audit Subsidy Program", teaming up with a range of audit and infrastructure groups to subsidize security audit expenses and strengthen ecosystem-wide security. Led by the Foundation's Trillion Dollar Security Initiative, the program will assess and review applications from eligible projects, with implementation support from partners including Nethermind, Chainlink Labs and Areta. The Foundation said security audits are an industry best practice but often prohibitively expensive, and the new initiative is designed to lower the cost barrier and help more innovative applications and projects launch across the Ethereum ecosystem.
