What the Ecosystem needs

As Ethereum continues to grow, there is a need to make the ecosystem more accessible, connected, and grounded in its core values. This program responds to that need by:

  • Expanding access to Ethereum for new and diverse audiences, lowering barriers to entry through education, experimentation, and local initiatives
  • Bridging Ethereum with other industries and communities, creating spaces where its infrastructure can be explored in real-world contexts
  • Promoting and putting into practice Ethereum's core values and CROPS: Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, and Security, through hands-on experiences
