Our Role

The Ecosystem Support Program (ESP) is an initiative of the Ethereum Foundation's Grant Management team. We provide both financial and non-financial support to projects focused on strengthening the Ethereum protocol and supporting builders.

Our Focus

We support free and open-source public goods aligned with the EF Mandate and CROPS principles (Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, and Security). Our focus centers on infrastructure, research, builder tools, and community resources that strengthen Ethereum's protocol and foundations.

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 direct project feedback and guidance on navigating the Ethereum ecosystem.
