Results from the Academic Grants Round 2022

by Sara Amaral & Rodrigo Vasquez

We firmly believe that information is a public good that should be freely shared within the community. In line with this philosophy, in 2022 we initiated a series of grants to support academic research to foster knowledge and further enhance the Ethereum ecosystem. The response we received was overwhelming, and we awarded 39 grants to exceptional builders who actively worked across diverse domains to push Ethereum-related knowledge forward. In this blog post, we are excited to present a summary of the results achieved by each grantee, along with resources for those seeking deeper insights. We will keep sharing results as they come, as some grantees continue their research.
