Ethereum Foundation’s Grants Program Takes a Strategic Break

A recent announcement from the Ethereum Foundation reveals a strategic pause for their Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), which has temporarily halted public grant applications. This isn’t a permanent halt but a planned shift to enhance program effectiveness and ensure alignment with Ethereum’s long-term vision. The move signals an intentional transition to a more targeted funding approach.
