THE ETHEREUM FOUNDATION'S MISSION

Our mission is to do what is best for Ethereum's long-term success. Our role is
to allocate resources to critical projects, to be a valued voice within the
Ethereum ecosystem, and to advocate for Ethereum to the outside world.


ECOSYSTEM SUPPORT PROGRAM'S ROLE

As the public facing allocation arm of the Ethereum Foundation, ESP provides
funding and other forms of support to eligible projects working to improve
Ethereum. We focus on work that strengthens Ethereum's foundations and enables
future builders, such as developer tools, research, community building,
infrastructure and open standards.

WHAT WE SUPPORT



We award dozens of grants each quarter, across a variety of categories. We
support free and open source projects that strengthen Ethereum's foundations,
with a particular focus on builder tools, infrastructure, research, community
resources and other public goods. Funding is generally directed toward
supporting builders rather than end users.

HOW WE SUPPORT



We aim to deploy resources, both financial and non-financial, where they will
have the biggest impact. We try to keep our processes flexible and evolving in
order to be open to new ideas and support builders of all kinds.

Grants are awarded through a formal application and evaluation process, while
our office hours are an opportunity to explore a broad range of support through
an informal conversation with a member of the ESP team, such as project
feedback, advice, help navigating the ecosystem or guidance on submitting a
grant application.
