BlockBeats News, August 29th, the Ethereum Foundation stated in a post that Ethereum Foundation's grant program was launched in 2018 and has gradually evolved into the Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), which aims to help the Ethereum ecosystem thrive by providing grants and support. By 2024, ESP had allocated nearly $3 million to 105 projects and initiatives through the public grant program web form.

To better align with EF's updated ecosystem development strategy, the Foundation is adjusting the priorities and approach of ESP. As part of this transition, the open grant application process has been temporarily suspended. This change will allow the Foundation time to redesign the program, shifting focus from a reactive mode to a more proactive mode while supporting the priorities of other EF teams. Funding for Ethereum public goods will continue, and applications will still be accepted, but in a new format. Further details will be announced in future posts.
