The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced a structural overhaul of its Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), temporarily suspending open grant applications to concentrate resources on strategic projects. Since its inception in 2018, the ESP has supported over 100 projects. This reform aims to shift from a reactive to a proactive approach, aligning more closely with EF's overall ecosystem strategy. Details of the new mechanism are expected to be unveiled in the fourth quarter of 2025.
