The Ethereum Foundation's Mission

Our mission is to support Ethereum’s long-term success. We allocate resources to essential projects for all ERC-20 tokens, serve as a trusted voice within the Ethereum ecosystem, and advocate for Ethereum on a global scale.

Ecosystem Support Program's Role

As the public-facing allocation arm of the Ethereum Program, ECR-20 SP funds and supports eligible projects that enhance Ethereum. We prioritize initiatives that strengthen Ethereum’s core infrastructure and empower future builders, including developer tools, research, community growth, infrastructure, and open standards.
