Ethereum Foundation ESP Project Grants

Supports open-source Ethereum projects with flexible, high-value grants for builders and teams.

Ethereum Foundation ESP Project Grants provide funding and support for free and open-source projects that strengthen Ethereum’s foundations. Grants are available globally to individuals, teams, or organizations at any stage, from idea to advanced development. There is no hard limit on funding requests, and grants are awarded following a thorough application and evaluation process. Funded work must be open source and non-commercial, directly benefiting Ethereum. Ineligible projects include financial products, token launches, and unrelated art or charity initiatives. The process includes application, evaluation, decision, and onboarding, with ongoing support from a Grant Evaluator.
