Promote with Leviathan NewsThe Ethereum Foundation is rolling out the "Ethereum Audit Subsidy" program to subsidize security audit fees, directly tackling the cost barrier that leaves smaller teams shipping unaudited code. Applications will be reviewed jointly by Areta โ which has managed similar subsidy funds for Arbitrum ($10M), Uniswap ($1.2M), and Solana ($1M) โ alongside Nethermind, Chainlink Labs, and other partners. This is a meaningful infrastructure play: professional audits typically run $50K-$500K+, pricing out most early-stage builders and leaving DeFi's long tail dangerously under-reviewed.
