The Ethereum Foundation launches a new ESP funding program, offering two pathways: a wish list and a proposal solicitation.

The Ethereum Foundation has announced the launch of the Ecosystem Support ESP grant program, which will continue to provide grants to all but will now be conducted through two channels: a wish list and a call for proposals. These channels are designed to address the most pressing needs in the ecosystem as identified by various teams within the Ethereum Foundation. The former will set high-level goals to guide key areas of work, focusing on broader themes rather than specific projects; the latter will focus on clear deliverables or measurable results, including predefined scope, requirements, and expected outcomes.
