Arbitrum Security Program

The Arbitrum Foundation runs the Arbitrum Security Program, a 12-month program covering the security lifecycle for projects building on Arbitrum. Its pillars are AI-assisted screening, human-conducted audits, the Arbitrum bug bounty program and the ArbitrumDAO Security Council. The Foundation commits about 7.8M in value, stated as 1.76M USDC and 25M ARB, and subsidizes a portion of selected projects' audit costs under commercial agreements. Projects apply through an open application form, confirm audit readiness, agree the subsidy and sign a commitment agreement before auditor matching. The Foundation launched the program on 2026-09-28 and its grants page lists it as active.
