Allocating funding grants for promising projects is common practice within the crypto and blockchain communities. It is among the most preferred mechanisms ecosystems rely upon to cherry-pick projects that deserve support and backing. These days, almost every blockchain network offers grants. But it all started with Ethereum, the first smart contracts platform and the home to a myriad of DeFi, NFT, and P2E projects, among others. Currently, the Ethereum team offers a diverse range of funding grants for projects designed to help contribute towards the growth and success of the Ethereum ecosystem. By “grants,” we mean “direct funding” awarded to deserving projects through predefined application and selection processes.
