Keep away from taking part in favorites. We attempt to not benefit one staff over others
Keep away from grants on the utility layer, although we do imagine that tasks and groups working on the utility layer ought to apply when they’re constructing open supply instruments relevant to the broader ecosystem
Keep away from giving an Ethereum Basis “stamp of approval.” EF Grants aren’t meant to be an endorsement of a specific challenge over others.
How can we consider functions?
We take into consideration highest affect by asking ourselves:
- how essential would this be to the ecosystem?
- how pressing is the issue?
- what number of different individuals are engaged on this drawback?
- how a lot worth can we get by giving a grant in comparison with doing nothing?
We’re favorably biased in the direction of tasks with affordable paths in the direction of sustainability. This helps guarantee a long-term affect on the funding of neighborhood assets.
We search for candidates with related expertise or confirmed capacity to execute, commensurate with the grant quantity
