TechFlow, August 29 — According to an official blog post, the Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Support Program (ESP) has paused its 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 reactive model to a more proactive and forward-looking approach to better support the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. During the pause, the ESP team will continue supporting existing grantees and offering non-financial assistance through office hours, including guidance, feedback, and resource connections.
