1/ ESP’s grant applications are now OPEN! ✨ Our new grants program is structured through two pathways: 💡 Wishlist 🎯 Requests for Proposals (RFPs) Explore the new opportunities and apply below! https://t.co/qg4gBL62ED

4/ Let’s make decentralized, verifiable and censorship-resistant RPC access the default way users and developers connect to Ethereum 💪

3/ Possible directions include: 🔹 Improving light client usability & integration 🔹 Building hybrid systems that combine verification with distributed RPC routing 🔹 Supporting new infrastructure that prioritizes openness, neutrality, & public availability

2/ Our focus is on exploring efforts that help Ethereum move towards open, verifiable, and decentralized RPC access for everyone, from developers to end users! 🔓

1/ Ethereum’s strength comes from decentralization, but RPC access hasn’t fully caught up yet. We’re looking for builders to dive into this with our Wishlist item: ⭐️ Decentralized RPC Access for Devs & End Users ⭐️ Learn more and apply below 👇 https://t.co/o1cjPi6Ahf

4/ Want the full details about the updated grants program and where we’re headed? Learn more in our blog post 👇 https://t.co/oJgdCNKtCt

3/ Our current Wishlist items and RFPs span the following domains and more: 🛡 Privacy & Security 🧩 Cryptography 🌍 Community Growth 🌐 Decentralized Identity 🛠 Application Layer 💻 Nodes & Clients

2/ These target the ecosystem’s most pressing needs, identified by @ethereumfndn teams Here’s how it works: 💡 Wishlist – Broad themes for builders to propose innovative solutions 🎯 RFPs – Specific problems or opportunities with clear deliverables, inviting targeted proposals

Care about privacy and identity? 🚀 Calling all builders, researchers working with DIDs in identity ! Help advance the did:ethr method, the core of Ethereum’s decentralized identity stack. Grants ($10K–$25K) now open to modernize the spec. Apply by Dec 1, 2025 👉

2/ These two complementary efforts are critical to Ethereum's long-term vision of secure, private, and decentralized computation. https://t.co/1l1ZI6Gy38

1/ 🎊 Grant Announcement: Phantom Zone! Building Phantom (encrypted RISC-V virtual machine that executes encrypted RISC-V binaries on encrypted inputs), and Poulpy (fast and modular FHE library written in Rust).

🎊 Grant Announcement: @PBS_Foundation! Continued stewardship of the MEV ecosystem, including coordination across the MEV ecosystem for current and future hard forks, along with R&D for mev-boost and mev-boost-relay that supports hard fork development.

2/ Extending that model to quantify how changes to the reward curve impact overall staking levels, then further extending the framework to distinguish between solo vs liquid staking.

1/ 💡 Academic Grants Round Announcement: Staking Economics by Joel Hasbrouck & @cryptoeconprof! Analyzing how the staking reward curve affects equilibrium staking by developing a structural econometric model of ETH and LST joint price dynamics.
