Ethereum Foundation Ecosystem Support Program suspends open grant applications

Jinse Finance reported that the Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Support Program (ESP) has suspended open grant applications and plans to announce new priorities and programs in Q4 2025. In 2024, ESP provided nearly $3 million in funding to 105 projects through its open grant program. ESP stated that this adjustment aims to shift from a passive response model to a more proactive and forward-looking approach to better support the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. During the suspension period, the ESP team will continue to support existing grantees and provide non-financial support to projects through office hours, including guidance, feedback, and resource connections.
