Projects - Uniswap Foundation Security Fund

Hey @CryptoSheriff33, unfortunately, an established entity is the key compliance requirement for any project to be considered for the subsidy.

Thank you for the clarification. That makes sense from a compliance perspective, and we understand why the current UFSF process requires an established legal entity. At the same time, this is a little disappointing from a community perspective. One of the reasons Ethereum has lost some retail/community momentum to ecosystems like Solana is that smaller grassroots projects often struggle to access structured support unless they already look like traditional companies. SATO is exactly the kind of experiment that Ethereum used to make possible: immutable contracts, no operator, no treasury, no VC allocation, and a community trying to build documentation and security transparency around already-deployed code. We understand that SATO may not be eligible under the current requirements. But if the Foundation ever creates a separate path for immutable, operator-free, community-driven Uniswap v4 protocols, we would be very interested in participating and providing any public technical documentation needed for review. Thanks again for the transparency.

Hey buddy! How can I help? Recently deployed V4 hooks onto Robinhood

Hello :) My team's project is Coffhee Finance, a confidential DEX currently on ArbSepolia. We applied to the most recent cohort before the August 7th deadline. When are decisions made and teams notified about the new cohort?

Hey @Xfactor2099, the decision has already been communicated to you via email mid-week. Just confirmed it.

Hey all! Super glad this is an option and happening! Was curious how to apply as an auditor, assuming there’s an approved list, to help ensure projects X, Email, Discord, Social Platforms, and security is on par!

Hey one question? Are Cooperatives eligible for the Legal Entity behind the project for the KYB right, just another form of legal entity then tradicional llc?

Hi just dm'ed you!

Replied!

Hi there, last day!

Hi Nihar, one eligibility question ahead of the next cohort. I am a solo builder and my company registration is in progress but not completed yet. Does the legal entity need to be in place at the time of application, or only at the KYB stage once a project is selected? And is an individual or sole trader eligible at all, or is a registered company a hard requirement? Asking so I know whether to apply on 7 October or wait until the registration is done. Thanks.

from Uniswap feedback i got solo builder isn't really what they are looking for... you sneed team fren

Hey, UFSF requires the team applying to have a legally registered entity.

Understood, thanks for the straight answer. I'll come back once the entity is registered.
