Rules

• Monthly cohorts: applications close on the 7th of each month at 23:59 UTC. A late application automatically enters next month's cohort; the form stays open year-round.
• Only projects building in the Uniswap ecosystem are eligible, including Uniswap v4 hooks and Uniswap Trading API integrations.
• Selected projects get a pre-audit security scan, up to 100% subsidy on audit costs, and the Areta auditor marketplace with competing quotes.
• The audit must begin within 30 days of subsidy approval. If the subsidy does not cover 100% of the cost, you pay the rest.
• Delays past the date you give for audit-ready contracts may revoke the subsidy.
• Each project can apply at most 3 times in total; carrying an application forward to the next cohort counts toward the cap.
• The applicant confirms it is a registered legal entity; KYB documents are needed after a positive decision, and a Grant Agreement may be required.
• The form asks the applicant to accept the Head Agreement and Application Conditions.
