The Polkadot Assurance Legion (PAL) is a non-profit community initiative which has the mission to promote and advance open-source security in the Polkadot ecosystem, and to make Polkadot a safer and more attractive ecosystem for builders and users.
We provide funding from the Polkadot Treasury towards various security initiatives:
- Funding audits of parachains and smart contracts that are secured by Polkadot.
- Funding audits of common-good functionality.
- Funding the development of open-source Security Tooling which is made available for the Polkadot ecosystem.
- Funding other security initiatives that are aligned with PAL's mission.
We also collaborate with industry-leading security experts such as the Security Alliance to bring their initiatives into Polkadot.
To learn more about the activities of PAL you can check out our community reports.
