Deep Tide TechFlow News, on August 29, according to the official blog, the Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Support Program (ESP) has suspended open grant applications, with plans to announce new priorities and programs in the fourth quarter of 2025. In 2024, ESP provided nearly $3 million in funding support to 105 projects through the open grant program.

ESP stated that this adjustment aims to shift from a passive response model to a more proactive approach to better support the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. During the suspension period, the ESP team will continue to support existing beneficiaries and provide non-financial support to projects through office hours, including guidance, feedback, and resource matching services.
