Security Subsidy Program
Designed and launched by Areta, this $1M initiative removes the financial barrier to audits - so Solana builders can ship with confidence, not compromise.
Security is a shared responsibility. The program provides direct audit subsidies to qualifying Solana ecosystem projects, connecting them with a curated roster of 10+ leading security providers - including Certora.
Areta is the ecosystem development arm behind the program's design and launch. They built the Solana Builder Services Marketplace and continue to drive targeted support and resource allocation across the Solana ecosystem.
Office Hours
Direct, no-pitch access to researchers who specialize in Solana programs. Whether you're at idea stage or post-launch, you'll get actionable feedback.
Track Record
Security work completed across the Solana ecosystem, from design reviews to formal verification.
Access resources, book office hours, or apply for a security subsidy through the Areta-led $1M program - all from one place.
