Oak Security partners in $1M Solana Audit Subsidy Program to strengthen ecosystem security
The Solana ecosystem is booming, with new projects launching at an unprecedented pace. But fast growth comes with risk. Ensuring that protocols are secure is essential for safeguarding users, protecting capital, and building long-term trust.
That’s why Oak Security has been selected as one of 11 leading auditing providers to participate in the $1M Solana Audit Subsidy Program, a collaborative initiative designed to make professional security audits more accessible for Solana builders of all sizes.
Why the Subsidy Program Matters
High-quality audits are crucial, but they can be costly. Many promising teams struggle to secure the resources needed to get expert security reviews. The Solana Audit Subsidy Program addresses this by providing up to 30% off security audits from 11 leading audit firms, including Oak Security.
The program is guided by a board of Solana ecosystem experts, Cap (Superteam), Nick (Jito), and Moon (MonkeDAO), to ensure subsidies reach projects that have the greatest impact on the ecosystem’s security and alliance.
How the Program Works
The process is straightforward and designed to minimize friction for builders:
Application: Submit your project via solana.areta.market.
Assessment: Areta and the ecosystem experts evaluate your application based on Solana Commitment, Technical Merit, Team Strength, Audit Impact and Ecosystem Value.
Approval & Subsidy: Approved projects receive a subsidy of up to 30% of the audit cost.
Marketplace: Projects receive offers from participating providers, including Oak Security.
Redemption: Apply your Subsidy Voucher Code and conduct your audit.
This program reduces cost barriers and amplifies awareness and credibility for teams participating in the initiative.
Oak Security’s Role in Strengthening Solana Security
At Oak Security, we bring over 7 years of expertise in technical and economic security to our security engagements. Our team of 50+ experts, including PhD economists and cryptographers, has conducted over 600 audits across multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Solana, Ethereum/EVM, Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm, Polkadot and Substrate, NEAR, and others.
Through the subsidy program, Oak Security is extending our blinded auditing methodology to Solana builders, where multiple senior auditors independently review every line of code.
As a participating audit provider, Oak Security ensures that every project receives thorough, senior-led auditing and clear communication throughout the process. Every audit engagement includes:
Thorough Coverage:
Seed Security Audit: Each line of code reviewed by at least 2 senior auditors.
Signature Security Audit: A multi-methodology team of 4-5 senior auditors tailored to your project.
Direct Communication: Connect directly with your audit team via Telegram, Slack, Discord, Element, or email.
Initial Audit Report listing all findings from the audit, each with a severity rating and recommendation.
Remediation Review where auditors are available for three weeks after delivering the initial report to review any remediations you implement.
Final Audit Report categorising all findings as resolved or acknowledged, with the option to include client statements on each issue’s status.
Transparency & Publication: Final reports are shared publicly on Oak Security’s GitHub and across Oak’s social channels.
This approach ensures that projects applying for the Solana Audit Subsidy Program receive high-quality, rigorous audits from experts who understand both the technical and economic layers of blockchain systems helping teams secure their protocols, protect their users, and build with confidence.
