What is the Solana STRIDE program?

STRIDE (Solana Trust, Resilience, Infrastructure for DeFi Enterprises) funds ongoing security reviews, monitoring, and response for Solana DeFi protocols, tiered by TVL.

How does STRIDE improve DeFi security on Solana?

Replaces one-time audits with 24/7 surveillance, formal verification for big projects, public reports, and shared threat intel — all grant-funded.

Will STRIDE make Solana DeFi safer than competitors?

Potentially — sustained monitoring could halve exploits like Ethereum's post-DAO grants did, but success hinges on adoption and iteration.
