Highlights on everything Giveth.
🛡 Ethereum Security QF Round is live! Running April 23 – May 14, this round brings 500 ETH in matching funds, backed by @thedaofund to support projects working to make Ethereum and its L2s safer. And the pool is growing. Ecosystem contributors have already added around 39 ETH on top, bringing the matching pool to roughly 539 ETH for Ethereum security. Explore the round, discover the projects, and donate.
🙌 Major support continues flowing into the Ethereum Security QF round. Huge thanks to Quantstamp for adding $50K to the matching pool, CertiK for contributing $50K through TIK for ETHSecurity badgeholders, and ChainSecurity for bringing their full team into the round with $200 per employee to vote for projects.
🎙 Still deciding who to support in the Ethereum Security QF round? This is the stream to watch. Griff and Jason spent 6+ hours reviewing 100+ projects participating in the round, spotlighting the teams working to make Ethereum safer.
🎨 45 days left to support Giveth x Artizen. Season 6 is still open, and we’re raising support to build Giveth Causes v2. Backing the campaign through even a $10 Artifact helps move it forward.
💧Superfluid Season 5 is heading into its final stretch. There’s less than a month left to earn SUP by streaming $20+/month to GIVbacks-eligible projects. Set it up once, support public goods in real time, and keep the rewards flowing until June 1.
Ethereum Security Matching Pool
This month we’re spotlighting Ethereum Security QF Matching Pool created to help grow the funding available for projects protecting Ethereum and its users.
TheDAO Security Fund brought 500 ETH to fund Ethereum security, and this project gives the wider community a way to add even more. Every donation is converted to ETH and added directly to the round’s matching pool - over $92,000 has been raised already!
Donating to this project lets you support top Ethereum security projects using the wisdom of the crowd, since all funds will be distributed according to quadratic funding.
Discover exciting initiatives and support them early on in their Giveth journeys.
🔒 Session is a decentralized, open-source private messaging app that protects both message content and metadata, with no phone number, email, or central server required.
⛽ Gas Killer is a shared security protocol that helps developers dramatically reduce gas costs for complex smart contract computations with just one line of code. By moving heavy computation off-chain and writing only essential state changes on-chain, it makes Ethereum apps cheaper, more scalable, and easier to build securely.
🧮 Dowsers is a formal verification audit firm using mathematical proofs to verify smart contract correctness across Solidity, Rust/Anchor, and Cairo. Their goal is to make high-assurance Web3 security more accessible through a toolchain that translates contracts into formal specifications and verifies their properties.
🎤 Devcon Security Track is Ethereum’s long-running hub for sharing security knowledge across audits, formal verification, wallet safety, incident response, cryptography, and more. With 137 sessions archived for free, it keeps critical Ethereum security education accessible to builders everywhere.
Quantstamp
Our GIVfriend of the month is Quantstamp
Quantstamp is a global leader in blockchain security, securing billions in digital assets since 2017 across smart contracts, L1s, and web infrastructure.
They made a major contribution to Ethereum security by adding $50,000 directly to the Ethereum Security QF matching pool. Their support helps grow the pool, amplify community donations, and direct more funding to the projects working to make Ethereum safer.
Huge thanks to Quantstamp for helping grow the round.ž
