Fact Check
The strongest evidence available in this run is the validated PANews article, which states that the Ethereum Foundation launched an 'Ethereum Audit Subsidy' program with up to $1 million in total support for audit costs, aimed at teams building new Ethereum use cases and CROPS-related projects. PANews cites and links the original Ethereum Foundation X post at https://x.com/ethereumfndn/status/2044071450370298009, and the Odaily link independently traced to that same URL, which materially supports source consistency. However, because the primary X post itself could not be fetched and validated directly in this run, confidence is not high.
