Ethereum Foundation launches new ESP funding program

On November 3rd, the Ethereum Foundation announced the launch of the Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), which will continue to fund projects open to everyone, but now through two channels: wish lists and proposal solicitations. These channels aim to meet the most urgent needs in the ecosystem identified by the Ethereum Foundation teams. The former will establish high-level goals guiding key work areas, focusing on broader themes rather than specific projects; the latter will focus on clear deliverables or measurable outcomes, including predefined scope, requirements, and expected results.
