ZK Grants Round | Ethereum Foundation Blog Posted by Rodrigo Vasquez on February 21, 2024 The Ethereum Foundation is thrilled to announce a collaborative grant round with Aztec, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, and zkSync to develop Zero Knowledge public goods projects. Each co-funder of the grant round has contributed 150K USD in funds, bringing the total grant pool to 900K USD.
The breadth and complexity of the Layer 2 ecosystem has reached a point where identifying shared needs and dependencies requires the participation of domain experts from a range of stakeholders. The co-funders will, therefore, not only provide funding but also participate in the allocation decisions.
Beyond more and better-informed funding, we hope this approach will facilitate increasing modularity and use of shared standards in the ZK L2 ecosystem. For this round the research teams have collaborated on a collective wishlist to guide for project inspiration. Applications for proposals are now open and will close on Monday, March 18th, 2024.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Researchers and developers from various organizations and universities working on theoretical advancements and practical implementations of zero-knowledge proofs. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows varies (past round had a shared pool of $900,000, with each sponsor contributing $150,000). Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.

Read articleOMB and roughly 40 agencies have proposed the most sweeping overhaul of 2 CFR Part 200 in more than a decade. Political appointees would pre-review notices of funding opportunity and discretionary awards, agencies gain near-unappealable 'national interest' termination authority, and federal funds can no longer support collaborations with covered foreign entities. The rule drew nearly half a million comments and is slated to take effect October 1, 2026. Here is what actually changes, who is exposed, and how to write proposals that survive the new regime.
