Vyper is participating in the current Ethereum Security QF Round. With exploits dominating the timeline, there is no better time to support a language designed with security in mind, and our ongoing work to formally verify its compiler.
It's quadratic funding so even tiny donations count!
Sourcify is part of @thedaofundโs Ethereum Security QF Round on @Giveth.
Smart contract verification is core Ethereum security infrastructure.
Sourcify ensures verified contract datasets remain open, and verification itself is powered by open-source services
Because this is quadratic funding, small donations matter. Even $1 can help unlock matching.
Donate at least $1 to 3+ projects, and check your address eligibility first to make sure your donation gets matched.
