On November 3, it was announced that the Ethereum Foundation has launched a new Ecosystem Support Program (ESP) grant initiative. This program will continue to offer grants open to everyone, but will now operate through two channels: a wishlist and calls for proposals. These channels are designed to address the most urgent needs in the ecosystem as identified by various Ethereum Foundation teams. The former will set high-level goals to guide key areas of work, focusing on broader themes rather than specific projects; the latter emphasizes clear deliverables or measurable outcomes, including predefined scope, requirements, and expected results.
