Crypto
Ethereum is the largest smart-contract blockchain and the gravitational center of crypto grant funding. Capital moves through the Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Support Program, the treasuries of protocol DAOs built on the chain (Uniswap, Aave, Lido, Compound and many others), the foundations of its layer-2 networks, and community mechanisms such as Gitcoin quadratic funding rounds and Octant epochs. Most funders in this system award grants for open-source tooling, infrastructure, protocol research, and applications that grow activity on Ethereum and its rollups.
