The Ethereum Foundation and five major Layer 2 protocols (Aztec, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, zkSync) announced 25 winners of a collaborative ZK grants round with a $900,000 prize pool. Each sponsor contributed $150,000, and winners were selected through rank-choice voting after thorough reviews.
The Ethereum Foundation announces a collaborative $900K grant round with Aztec, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, and zkSync to fund Zero Knowledge public goods projects. Each participating organization contributed $150K to support ZK ecosystem development and innovation.
Etherfi, which was Scroll's largest fee generator, has migrated to Optimism in what both parties describe as a long-term partnership. This represents a significant shift in the Layer 2 ecosystem as major protocols reallocate their operations between competing networks.
ether.fi, a crypto neobank, is migrating its services from Scroll blockchain to Optimism's OP Mainnet to access enhanced payment capabilities and enterprise-grade support. This move highlights the competitive landscape among Layer 2 solutions as projects seek better infrastructure.
