Our Role

ESP provides financial and non-financial support to projects that strengthen Ethereum's foundations and enable future builders through Grant Management: supporting the strategic allocation of resources to projects that are most critical to Ethereum's resilience and usability.

Our Focus

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. Our support is generally directed towards builders, rather than end users.

Our Approach

Financial support is offered through our Wishlist and RFPs, which highlight funding opportunities curated by EF teams. Non-financial support is available through Office Hours, where builders can receive project feedback, guidance on navigating the ecosystem, or advice on aligning their project with a Wishlist or RFP item.
