Greetings of the Ethereum Foundation Greamed team!
While we are steam at Devcon 4, we are back to announce wave 4 of the grant program! Thank you to all the fantastic members of the community who applied with creative ideas on how to strengthen our ecosystem. We will not exist without the time and energy that you put in Ethereum. While the program continues to grow, we will continue to involve more members of the community in the decision -making process. The subsidy program today is considerably improved earlier this year, thanks to all useful comments from the community, which allows us to provide better public and infrastructure tools.
If you had not heard of us before, our last announcement deepened the history of the program, the funding summary and the processes. Find this post hereAnd you can see directives and more here.
Without further ado …
🎉 We are proud to announce our beneficiaries of the 4 wave! 🎉
