The Ethereum Foundation has allocated $32.65 million in grants through its Ecosystem Support Program (EFESP) during the first quarter of 2025.
The grants are distributed across categories like community and education, consensus layers, cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, developer experience, tools, ecosystem growth, support, and Layer 2s.
Majority of the grants are dedicated to projects in 'Community and Education,' supporting global growth of the Ethereum ecosystem through events, educational content, and academic conferences.
Recent developments include Ethereum's Pectra upgrade going live, combining the Prague execution layer and Electra consensus layer with 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) introduced.
