The Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Funding Initiative has launched the 2025 Academic Grants Round with $2 million in funding dedicated to supporting Ethereum-related academic research. This initiative aims to expand and empower research frontiers in the Ethereum ecosystem, building on previous successful funding rounds.
39 grantees have been selected for the Academic Grants Round, which invited researchers, think-tanks, and Ph.D. students to submit academic proposals focused on advancing knowledge around the Ethereum ecosystem. The announcement represents continued institutional support for Ethereum research and development.
The Stateless Ethereum research call is scheduled for next week, with active community discussions ongoing in telegram channels. Only a small portion of the research topics have been documented in the ethresearch forums so far.
