We are thrilled to unveil a fresh series of grants designed to support formal research aimed at expanding knowledge about Ethereum, blockchain technology, and associated fields. We invite scholars, research institutions, PhD candidates, and anyone interested in investigating Ethereum to put forward their project proposals. This round of grants offers a total of up to $750,000 in available funding.
Knowledge as a catalyst for Ethereum
Ethereum is persistently progressing at a remarkable pace, transforming perspectives on Economics and Finance, posing new challenges to cybersecurity, influencing arts and culture, reshaping identities, and ultimately reconfiguring the status quo across various societal domains.
The academic community is capable and ought to play a larger role in this evolution to address significant challenges and advance the Ethereum ecosystem.
There is an increasing number of remarkable researchers who delve into various areas concerning Ethereum, contributing positively to our collective understanding on privacy, mechanism design, economics, transparency, financial inclusion, and beyond. However, we aspire to enhance this further!
Decentralized understanding and a genuinely global community
This round of grants is intended to facilitate formal research on Ethereum and related fields while integrating more participants into the ecosystem. The more knowledge and research that is disseminated across the global community, the more Ethereum can advance to create a broader and positive influence.
So what are we searching for?
We aim to fund formal, scientific, and systematic research as well as endorse freely available and open-source content focused on Ethereum and related areas. To assist you in getting started, please take a look at our wishlist. This compilation of project concepts and domains is not intended to be exhaustive, so do not limit your imagination. We will accept applications for any research topics that could influence the Ethereum ecosystem.
The deadline for this round of grants is April 22, 2022. For further details, please visit our website, and if you have any inquiries, feel free to reach out to us at academic-grants@ethereum.org.
We are eager to collaborate with scholars worldwide. If you know anyone who might be interested, please help us spread the news!
We are convinced that enhancing knowledge within our community is a vital investment in Ethereum’s future.
