Development Fund Proposal Submission

---

Summary

Octane proposes a 30-project Canton Ecosystem Vulnerability Scan Program. Each selected project receives one initial vulnerability scan and one diff/fix review scan, for 60 total scan events.

The program gives Canton ecosystem teams practical security coverage before production deployment, material user adoption, or deeper grant milestones while providing Canton reviewers with anonymized ecosystem-level visibility into recurring vulnerability classes and remediation trends. The total request is $60,000 USD-equivalent in Canton Coin.

Notes for Reviewers

This proposal is intentionally bounded. It does not request funding for a permanent retainer, formal audit certification, production incident response, or public disclosure of unresolved vulnerabilities. The program funds practical vulnerability discovery, remediation guidance, and fix verification for 30 selected ecosystem projects, with an anonymized closeout report for ecosystem-level learning.
