Security audits are one of the most important investments a blockchain team can make before launch, but they can also be a significant expense for early-stage projects.
To help teams ship securely, ecosystems such as Ethereum and Arbitrum subsidize part or all of the audit cost. These programs give builders access to professional security reviews earlier, while helping ecosystems improve the overall security of applications launched on their networks.
Nethermind Security participates in these programs as an approved auditor and committee member, helping teams access funding and complete high-quality smart contract audits.
Programs funded directly by an ecosystem to subsidize audit costs for builders on their chain.
The Ethereum Foundation has committed $1M in funding through Areta Market to help teams access professional smart contract audits earlier in their development lifecycle.
$10M in ARB over 12 months from the Arbitrum Foundation.
Builder support programs that help teams reduce security, infrastructure, and operational costs as they move from integration to launch.
