The $ETH Foundation allocated $32.6 million in grants during Q1 2025 to support education, developer tools, zero-knowledge tech, and broader ecosystem development, according to its latest funding report.
Of the 101 total grants issued, the largest segment—32—went toward community and education initiatives, including events like ETHPrague and ETHiopia. Another 16 grants supported developer tooling, SDKs, analytics platforms, and validator resources.
Fourteen projects focused on advancing cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs, while execution and consensus layers each saw seven grants. An additional nine grants went to general ecosystem growth and protocol support, with 13 categorized under “other,” covering DeFi, stablecoin infrastructure, and DApps.
The announcement follows Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade going live on May 7, with ETH prices reaching a 30-day high of $2,400 in the days after. The upgrade introduced key EIPs aimed at enhancing scalability and smart account functionality.
