What is the Uniswap Foundation Security Fund?

The UFSF is a subsidy fund, established through a grant from the Uniswap Foundation, to support projects building in the Uniswap Protocol’s ecosystem in procuring security audit services. This support is achieved in particular by

1. streamlining the discovery of and engagement with suitable and high quality security service audit firms,
2. bundling the buying and negotiation power of the whole Uniswap Protocol’s ecosystem and channeling competing security service providers in a marketplace to achieve better terms and pricing than projects could achieve on their own with individual reach-outs,
3. providing standardized legal frameworks to reduce friction and accelerate the audit procurement process, saving projects valuable time and legal resources, and
4. subsidizing the security audit costs of projects in an amount of up to 100% of the audit fees per project.

The first iteration of the UFSF focused on projects building Uniswap v4 hooks. It is currently evaluated to open the UFSF to projects for further areas, such as Unichain.
