One of the ESP RFP items live at capture. ESP RFPs "define focused problems and outline clear target outcomes. They are more prescriptive and time-bound", and per the EF announcement each RFP carries "a set application window" - but no dates are published on the RFP listing page. Support also includes "Visibility and amplification across Devcon channels", "Non-financial support (connections, guidance, coordination)" and "Limited Devcon tickets (free or discounted), based on contribution and availability".
Read off the Ethereum Foundation page on 29 Aug 2026. Funders move amounts and eligibility without announcing it, so confirm any figure here before you count on it.
