1. Introduction

Ethereum Community,

Ethereum’s future is bright. Over the last 12 months the Ethereum community — a global collection of developers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and passionate users — has made tremendous progress. Every week, new applications built on Ethereum launch to mainnet, scalability solutions come online, and ETH 2.0 moves closer to key milestones. Ethereum remains the de-facto platform for decentralized applications, and is used every day to secure billions of dollars in digital assets.

The Ethereum Foundation’s team is thrilled to see the progress happening across the community. We have worked to support the ecosystem since Ethereum’s earliest days as a non-profit dedicated only to doing what is best for Ethereum.

As the ecosystem has matured, the Ethereum Foundation has refined its focus. “Doing what is best for Ethereum” doesn’t mean trying to do everything — it means focusing on where we can add the most value, and leaving space for others to add value in the areas that they will be the most effective.

So what is the Ethereum Foundation’s role today?

The Ethereum Foundation is a resource allocator, a voice in the ecosystem, and an advocate for Ethereum to the world.

Resource Allocator

Today, the Foundation holds approximately 0.6% of all ETH, as well as reserves held in cash. These resources are intended to decrease over time, as they are invested in critical work across the ecosystem. These are significant amounts of capital but they are not infinite. It is our responsibility to ensure that every last dollar and wei is spent effectively.

We are also working to grow the Ethereum ecosystem’s funding base. This means encouraging other organizations besides the Foundation to support high-priority projects, and supporting innovative mechanisms for funding, including Gitcoin grants and MolochDAO. Efforts like these give us better leverage from our existing resources, and help build a sustainable path for funding vital projects far into the future.

A voice in the ecosystem

We understand that many look to the Foundation as a valued voice even as we move to proactively empower others. That voice is a resource that can be used effectively to advance Ethereum. We are able to, for instance, bring attention to important but relatively unknown projects, share valuable information about Ethereum’s progress with the public, and encourage the growth of regional Ethereum communities.

Moving forward, expect the Ethereum Foundation to be a more active voice in the Ethereum community.

An advocate for Ethereum to the world

To the outside world, Ethereum can be confusing — and that’s probably an understatement. Many newcomers don’t understand our vibrant and decentralized ecosystem because they’ve never seen anything like it before.

When someone (a major company, a government or a regular person) finds their way into our world, the Ethereum Foundation is often their first stop. The first thing we tend explain is that the Ethereum ecosystem is distributed and not owned or operated by any foundation or organization. Our Foundation helps to represent Ethereum to the outside world as an effective portal that people can pass through to the ecosystem itself.

We also recognize a need to take more initiative in growing the Ethereum ecosystem, on-boarding developers and improving the developer experience. As discussed in more detail below, we intend to deploy significant resources towards these goals.

2. Our Philosophy

Ethereum is not a typical open-source project, and the Foundation is not a typical organization. Successfully fostering a vibrant decentralized Ethereum ecosystem requires a specialized approach.

Even as we deploy significant resources across the ecosystem to improve Ethereum, we must do so in a way that maintains the core spirit of decentralization. We have deliberately adopted a philosophy of subtraction, which informs everything that we do.

In plain language, following a philosophy of subtraction means resisting the natural tendency of organizations to grow and accumulate value within themselves, and ensure instead that this value is created outside the Foundation in the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

Instead of capturing opportunities for ourselves, we distribute those opportunities to the community. Instead of pulling everything in-house, we push our resources out to teams across the ecosystem. We don’t compete with the ecosystem — we are thrilled when other organizations create value, because that means Ethereum is becoming more decentralized and sustainable.

The Ethereum Foundation succeeds if Ethereum succeeds, and Ethereum succeeds with a strong decentralized community. That understanding governs how we work.

3. Highlights from Ethereum Foundation-supported teams

The last 12 months have been a crucial period for Ethereum, and we have worked extremely hard to support teams across the ecosystem. Encompassing all the progress made by teams supported by the EF in this letter is impossible, but here is a selected sample:

ETH 2.0 client teams

ETH 2.0 is a name given to a set of transformative upgrades for the Ethereum protocol. Last year, this effort moved from a research project to an engineering effort. Client teams supported by the Foundation including Nimbus, Prysm, Sigma Prime, and Substrate Shasper are among those working to turn ETH 2.0 into a reality.

Over the last few months the Nimbus, Prysm, and Sigma Prime’s Lighthouse testnets have launched. These teams and others are now stabilizing and optimizing their clients, getting ready for multi-client testnets.

Many resources are shifting into testing, fuzzing, and audits over the coming months. We engaged Runtime Verification to formally verify the deposit contract and to formally specify the Beacon Chain. This is in addition to considerable effort by the research, development, and security teams involved in ETH 2.0 toward reliability and security.

ETH 1.x

The ETH 1.x initiative, which started last year, focuses on improving Ethereum’s short term scalability and sustainability with an eye to easing the transition to ETH 2.0. Efforts we’ve funded include Alexey Akhunov’s research into stateless clients and state fees, and Andrew Ashikhmin’s research into sync protocol improvements.

Work continues on essential projects like Geth and Solidity as well, and regular updates from all supported teams are on the way.

ZK-rollup

ZK-rollup uses succinct zero-knowledge proofs to enable Ethereum to reach hundreds of transactions per second. We’ve supported Barry Whitehat and Matter Labs’ collaboration, which has led the way on research, development, and implementation.

ETHGlobal

ETHGlobal hosts Ethereum hackathons around the world, focused on on-boarding new developers into the ecosystem and facilitating project and company creation. At a recent event, ETHCapeTown, 70% of attendees were from South Africa and 40% of attendees were new to Ethereum.

Ethereum Academic and Research Collaboration

The Ethereum Foundation hosted three research workshops at Stanford and MIT, through which dozens of talented mathematicians, computer scientists, and economists were introduced to research problems originating in Ethereum. Many have continued working on these problems, leading to progress in areas essential to the future of Ethereum including Casper CBC, VDFs, Plasma constructions, succinct zero knowledge proof based systems, liveness, and safety bounds for Ethereum 2.0 among others.

Additionally, the Cryptophage collaboration between the Ethereum Foundation, Supranational, and Protocol Labs produced a solution to renowned cryptographer Ron Rivest’s LCS35 time capsule crypto-puzzle that required only two months, as opposed to the projected 35 years.

Working with prominent organizations to encourage their engagement with the Ethereum ecosystem

In our role as an advocate for Ethereum to the outside world, the Foundation has worked to encourage high profile organizations to engage with Ethereum in ways that strengthen the whole ecosystem.

Notably, we have been working closely with Microsoft in a long-term commitment to support the Ethereum developer experience through Visual Studio Code and the new Azure Blockchain Service.

We have also connected with large entities like HTC and Opera, encouraging them to engage with the Ethereum community and support Ethereum-based applications, and with non-corporate organizations like UNICEF to help find ways to use Ethereum for social good.

There’s a lot more being done by Foundation-supported teams than just the examples listed above. Stay tuned for more updates coming from these teams in the next few weeks.

4. Allocating Resources over the next 12 months.

An ecosystem-level view for Ethereum support

Today, we’re excited to share more information about the Foundation’s priorities for the next year, and how we expect to allocate resources across the ecosystem.

As we’ve learned and iterated, we’ve made necessary changes to our processes and priorities. When the Ethereum ecosystem was much smaller, it made sense for the Foundation to prioritize several “in-house” teams to work on the most fundamental projects. As the community grew, we began a Grants program that enabled us to support more teams throughout the ecosystem.

Today, it shouldn’t matter to the Foundation whether a project is “internal” or “external”. What matters is that we’re spending resources effectively, and that Ethereum’s goals are accomplished. This is why we are moving toward an “ecosystem level view” when allocating resources by looking at the whole picture rather than at a subset of it.

Over the next year, the Ethereum Foundation plans to spend $30 million USD on key projects across the ecosystem. This budget is insulated against downward ETH price movement.

We believe that this is a critical time for Ethereum, justifying significant investments in important work across the ecosystem.

Allocating across such a large and vibrant ecosystem is a substantial optimization challenge. We are constantly re-evaluating and optimizing our decisions, and new opportunities for leverage appear every day.

To help clarify how we define our highest priorities, we describe below three primary categories of resource allocation: (i) Building the Ethereum of tomorrow, (ii) Supporting the Ethereum of today, and (iii) Developer Growth & Awareness.

i. Building the Ethereum of tomorrow

$19 million earmarked over next 12 months

Ethereum remains a highly ambitious technical project, and significant resources are required to fund the R&D that will realize the Ethereum community’s ambitions. Critical work is underway across the ecosystem on active engineering projects like ETH 2.0, and on more long-term investments like growing the academic community’s involvement in Ethereum technology.

This includes:

• ETH 2.0: Client teams, Research, VDF, documentation and communication
• Layer 2: State channels & Plasma
• Continuing work on eWASM
• Smart contract languages
• Formal verification, auditing, and specification work
• Zero-knowledge R&D, including ZoKrates
• Ethereum “Phase 3 and Beyond” R&D
• Working directly with academic institutions and attracting exceptional research talent

ii. Supporting the Ethereum of today

$8 million earmarked over next 12 months.

Ethereum is used in production today to secure billions of dollars of assets and as a base layer for many hundreds of live applications. We believe that it is vital to continue supporting these efforts to ensure that “Ethereum 1.0” continues to be the world’s dominant smart-contract platform.

This includes:

• Many initiatives under the banner of “ETH 1.x”
• Geth
• Solidity
• Web3.js and Ethers.js

iii. Developer Growth & Awareness

$3 million earmarked over next 12 months

Developers, developers, developers.

Ethereum is a platform and the developers who build on it are a key part of our future. It is critical to invest in developer relations, education, and on-boarding today in order to grow the Ethereum community and to ensure our continued success. This is especially important in Asia, where significant opportunity exists for Ethereum to grow.

This figure also includes more traditional efforts to grow awareness of Ethereum, through marketing efforts at both technical audiences and at users of Ethereum-based applications.

This includes:

• Developer education & on-boarding
• Supporting community event organizations focused on developers, like ETHGlobal
• Continuing to run Devcon as a yearly gathering for the Ethereum ecosystem
• Supporting regional Ethereum community organizations
• Developer experience improvements and developer tooling
• Attracting exceptional developer talent
• Encouraging browsers and other mass consumer technologies to seamlessly integrate Ethereum into their user experiences
• Continued improvements to ethereum.org

5. Thank you!

Ethereum’s progress over the last 12 months is worth celebrating, and as we look ahead we’re more excited than ever before.

Everything we describe above, every technical improvement, event and initiative was accomplished by one of you. This may be a letter from the Ethereum Foundation, but it’s a letter about the Ethereum community. Whether you are new to all of this or you’ve been around since Genesis, thank you for all of your support and contributions. We are excited to keep building the Ethereum ecosystem together.

To the users and the builders,

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Ethereum’s future is bright, and this year we are seeing much of that future come to life as the Ethereum ecosystem builds on a foundation laid by dedicated research and development over the last years.

This update will focus on how the Ethereum Foundation aims to help further Ethereum’s progress, on what we’ve been working on in terms of allocations and more, and on why our outlook is brighter now more than ever.

Who we are, and where we’ve been

The focus of the Ethereum Foundation’s work as a non-profit remains only on doing what is best for Ethereum. And we remain aware that what began as a small open-source project in 2014 grew into the biggest community in the industry. Ethereum’s unique advantage is what we last year referred to as the global collection of developers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and passionate users that make up our ever-growing family.

We often aim to work on the things that either only the Foundation can do, or that it can do better than others to support Ethereum and its community. But thanks to this ecosystem of participants, we must begin with a thank you for elevating yourselves and for further decentralizing Ethereum each day. To all that have continued to build in the face of unique challenges: your accomplishments and ability to reach milestones have been and continue to be breathtaking. And to those users that have helped over the last year to explode activity around real-world applications already thriving on Ethereum: your support and engagement inspire us to work even harder to maximize Ethereum’s potential.

With that, we’ll outline below how the Ethereum Foundation will further its work as a resource allocator, and talk about how that process works. As an advocate for Ethereum both within our ecosystem and to the outside world, we’ll also cover how and where to follow the latest progress, all in the year that we’ll realize the long-awaited beacon chain launch and proof of stake on Ethereum.

Where we’re going, how we get there

The Foundation itself is more akin to a bazaar than it is a cathedral. That means that every release and function that exist under the “EF” label are really different groups and teams acting in various capacities to help to move Ethereum forward. This is how we view Ethereum as well, and just as Ethereum has multiple layers, so does the Ethereum Foundation’s portfolio of allocations.

With that in mind, today we’re going to speak a bit about how those allocation decisions are made.

As a whole, no single or centralized distribution method has been a cure-all for the many recurring research and development teams, community building efforts, or independent builders that we support. This has become clear through a great deal of iteration over time that has helped us to develop a multi-pronged approach to allocating resources.

Let’s dive in by imaging the entire budget allocation process as a layered cake that helps us to make decisions. Here’s how it works.

Type A: Recurring Support

Areas of recurring support are our first stop, and the most familiar process for most readers. Some supported teams included here, like Geth and Solidity, represent where things began. Others, like Eth1.x and Stateless research, the EF’s Eth2 Research team and formal verification (among others) came later but are essential for Ethereum to succeed. Also under this branch are administrative and operations roles, like the people behind the ESP team, communications and community, or administration and legal.

There was a time when the EF was home to these and other (most) supported Ethereum projects, but the Foundation’s purpose has changed alongside the larger ecosystem. Today, these teams fit into a category of support that EF is best-suited to provide at this time.

In the last two years, the Foundation has given more autonomy to Type A teams over their own budgets. We think that this structure better reflects how supported teams are actually operating as teams.

Each year, teams are asked to submit roadmaps and budget proposals, while others work to evaluate and approve their asks by evaluating their own needs. Think of this as a system of checks and balances where there are few enough for us to work together on a personal level. This way, we see which projects are working, what needs help, where the most progress and new achievements can be made, and what types of support help teams reach those goals.

Elsewhere, we’ve pushed opportunities outward as stated on previous occasions, taking an ecosystem-wide approach that helped to remove the line between internal and external. This helps us to minimize our operational footprint, and avoid having too much sway over developmental progress.

As time progressed, this outward movement has taken on a few different forms, resulting in the other types of allocation that we’ll speak to today. Each of these can generally be thought of as ecosystem support. To help manage the next area of focus, Type B funding, the aptly-named Ecosystem Support Program (ESP for short) leads the way.

Type B: Public Grant Process

A bit more on the ESP team!

Since the EF Grants Program evolved into the Ecosystem Support Program, the definition of resources has expanded to include both financial and non-financial support. Their aim is to allocate resources where they will have the biggest impact on Ethereum’s growth and adoption.

Recently, the Ecosystem Support Program: Allocation Update detailed how we allocated grants to external teams in 2019. Going forward, allocation updates will be posted quarterly, with the Q1 update already live. The ESP team will also be making an effort in the coming months to share more about how non-financial support is allocated, and how teams have made use of these resources!

One of the most important functions of ESP is to expand access to support, using a public inquiry process to discover and engage new projects. The Ecosystem Support team evaluates proposals that come in through the public inquiry form, incorporating peer review, discussions with the applicant, and expert advisors as needed to form a plan to help teams succeed. When making decisions about allocations, financial and otherwise, the ESP team digs into everything from timeline, execution and team structure, to available alternatives, potential milestones and impact forecasts in order to find the right fit. In short, ESP’s decisions move through a more thorough process than ever before, designed to help projects at any stage of completion to refine their ideas and connect with the support they need.

Of course, it’s hard to imagine that all needed “ecosystem support” allocations could be initiated through incoming public inquiries, which are by definition reactive. There will inevitably remain neglected areas and unfulfilled needs in the Ethereum ecosystem that require a more proactive approach that builds on our experiences with both Types A and B to create something new, which brings us to Type C.

Type C: Delegated Domain Allocations

Imagine an example where a new and potentially game-changing Layer 2 scaling solution gains steam, but it suffers from an initial lack of organization and funding. In Type C, this new area of focus would be called a “domain”, and the tool available to us in this case is to “delegate” to one or more confidence-inspiring domain experts the allocation and milestone-setting abilities that they need to make progress, whether they work for the EF or not.

These domain experts can identify specific problems to solve, and connect with builders to get work funded through grant-based allocations. Importantly, they can do so without EF onboarding new teams, and with a more proactive, targeted, and collaborative approach than is feasible for the open grant process.

Each domain tends to begin with smaller budgets and grants, such as those for the local grants programs last year in South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, but these can grow in size over time. Examples of more mature domains include applied zero knowledge work, eth2 coordination, developer experience, the Ethereum.org project, and more.

While Type B and C represent a diverse range of allocations, frankly, our team will always have blindspots in what we lead on — this is something that no organization can overcome on its own. So what about everything else? That’s where you come in.

Type D: Third Party Funding

Redistribution to independent funding models and groups can help us to even further decentralize our allocation process. While we’re proud of how refined and targeted our efforts are becoming, redistribution helps funds reach where some of the EF’s teams may have never known they needed to go.

Examples here include community driven grant matching, like Gitcoin’s CLR rounds (where you can help to decide how funding is distributed) and DAO funding, like Moloch. Third party allocators fit into Type D too. These include our support for UNICEF’s Crypto Fund, which selects and distributes funds to projects that their team works to identify, and to ETHGlobal, which retains independence and redistributes funds via hack bounties, among other activities. Admittedly, it’s still early-days for Type D, but our work in these areas are well underway.

While this may appear experimental or radical to some, there are many members within the Ethereum ecosystem that have long sought out ways to guide funding efforts, and now some of their decisions have already opened new doors.

Some of this work is complementary to EF’s other funding types, but may have been edge cases not covered by Types A-C, while other pieces may be controversial or even competitive. But while we have an opinion on how the initial funding decisions are made (in an initial transfer to a DAO, for example), what’s decided after this point is in your hands, which has been a net-positive in terms of innovation and participation.

We know that we must also ensure allocation accountability along the way, which can be challenging, but we can overcome those difficulties by diversifying how we fund. Examples include smaller initial disbursements to identify strong performers, and diversification of sources like those to DAOs and matching programs. Together, these approaches help to limit areas of risk like popularity contests and groupthink, and help us to reach a healthy equilibrium.

Working together

A high-level view of these efforts have helped us to see that, while every allocation-type has its benefits and limitations, they are symbiotic and help to create a stronger funding model together.

Type A

↑: As the only area that is by default recurring, this allows teams to comfortably focus on long-term roadmaps.

↓: Not everything can be solved through hiring and team-building in a fast moving ecosystem, since teams often have a long-term focus.

Type B

↑: Inquiry-based allocations can be more diverse and targeted.

↓: Not everything can be covered through reactive grants, and the team is limited by what is received from across the ecosystem.

Type C

↑: Allows for more proactive prioritizing by those with the expertise, with added flexibility to boot.

↓: These projects are often experimental, and the rate of Type C funding can be limited by EF’s capacity to identify appropriate needs and fits.

Type D

↑: People-powered, and where we see things trending over time.

↓: Highly experimental, with a delay in measurable impact/return for Ethereum.

Each option that we have available to us helps EF to more effectively empower others to innovate, and as we’ve matured, the distribution of our cake has continued to evolve too:

As you can see above, prior to the launch of the EF Grants Program (a precursor to ESP) in 2018, nearly all funding was geared toward “EF teams”. In 2018, substantial allocations were made to invest in quality work in areas determined to have the greatest need. This helped to create a firmer foundation, on top of which the energy and sheer number of new contributors could be more sustainable into the future. We’re glad to see that some of that timely decision-making is now paying off as big changes soon come to life on the public network.

In short, while gradual shifts toward Type B, and later to Types C and D are relatively new, they are the start of a trend that will continue in the near-future, and we know that it’s for the better.

What’s ahead in 2020?

This year, the Foundation is in a position to comfortably meet or exceed the commitment made last May. Specifically, we’ll likely fall within the range of 25-40 million USD in total allocations, depending on the need of the ecosystem, the number and quality of ESP applicants, and progress in scaling our new allocation types.

Our support for efforts related to eth2 will also continue to ramp up as needed. Additionally, our funding for eth1.x related research and development remains firm at this critical moment, and we recognize (just as some of eth2’s progress relies on Stateless Ethereum) that we can’t focus on one without the other.

On our resources, the Foundation has available to it about 0.53% of all ETH at the time of this post. This number has steadily decreased since the launch of the network years ago as we’ve continued to spend in line with our mission to grow and advance the network and ecosystem.

Over the last year, more and more essential teams have continued to populate our distributed ecosystem, and we’re proud of the strength that comes from having a distributed network without a center. But as an entity, we’ll continue our work to provide opportunity for everyone to create without enveloping each project under one large tent. In the year ahead, we’ll witness the launch of eth2, which will be powered by multiple clients — all of which will have been built and maintained by independent teams.

until then…

We’ll primarily keep our heads down and continue our work in and around the Ethereum ecosystem, but expect to hear more about new programs and new ways to get involved soon! For now, keep posted to the EF Blog and @Ethereum, dive into the new Ethereum.org community page, and get ready for big news coming soon from the Scholars and Devcon teams too.

And if you’re interested in seeing something that we haven’t covered today, just ask! Whether you have questions, concerns, asks or recommendations, feel free to reach out to press@ethereum.org with your suggestions. We’ll get back with feedback or with external resources from a large community that continues to produce incredible material that we want to support, and we even may publish a Q&A in the months to come with some of what’s received.

Until then, our focus will remain on performing where we’re needed most, and on doing what only the EF can. We can’t wait to see where your work and the rest of this year takes Ethereum, and we hope to see you all along the way.

The most coveted achievement for us in all the G2 Reports is the ‘Users Love Us’. You may wonder why we are so excited about this badge when we have achieved 31 other badges. The special thing about the ‘Users Love Us’ badge is that it recognizes the effort of everyone at 101 Blockchains. It is a credential awarded to only a few platforms that earn user trust, evaluated through genuine user feedback and reviews. The badge is proof of the fact that our users are happy with our products and services. It also shows that they have taken some time to write a good word for us.

Final Thoughts 

The list of badges we have earned in the G2 Spring 2025 Reports is a reward we look forward to with anticipation. We have used G2 reports as the benchmark of our performance and capabilities to deliver excellent technical education to our learners. Over the course of time, we have evolved into a comprehensive technical skill training platform. You can not only learn about blockchain but also AI, fintech, and IoT with our courses. As we introduce new courses and certifications, the G2 badges will push us a little higher to accomplish our dreams.

Oxalis Games has confirmed that Moonfrost, their life simulation farming RPG, will enter early access in Spring 2025.

The game will be available for PC on both Windows and Mac, and players will no longer need an alpha code to participate. This announcement comes alongside the decision to cancel Alpha Release 6 (AR6), opting instead to extend the availability of Alpha Release 5 (AR5) to allow players more time with the current version.

This change reflects feedback from the community, and players will be able to continue exploring AR5 through February 2025 before the public early access launch. The transition also includes updates to the existing alpha build, which will introduce new features such as fishing and improvements to other mechanics.

What is Moonfrost?

Moonfrost is a life simulation farming RPG developed by Oxalis Games, set in a world where players can engage in farming, crafting, and exploration.

In the game, players take on the role of a character who must cultivate a farm, build relationships, and uncover secrets in a cozy and dynamic environment. The game blends traditional RPG elements with web3 technology, offering players the chance to experience a virtual economy and unique in-game features that are linked to blockchain.

Moonfrost focuses on a relaxed, creative gameplay loop, allowing players to progress at their own pace whilst exploring different aspects of farming and life simulation.

What to expect from early access?

The upcoming early access phase of Moonfrost will introduce several new features and mechanics aimed at expanding the core gameplay experience.

One of the primary additions is fishing, which will be further developed and refined during early access. Players will be able to experiment with different rods and bait types, and vote on two potential fishing styles to help the developers decide which approach to continue. Additionally, the game will introduce a cooking system where players can experiment with various ingredients to create new dishes, moving beyond the basic recipe system currently available.

Oxalis Games will also release a whitepaper and roadmap ahead of the early access launch, providing players with detailed information on the game’s web3 economy and upcoming features. The early access version will be available on PC for both Windows and Mac, with a Steam release planned.

A mobile version is expected in the future, although no specific release date has been announced.
