How does it work

1
Apply for a grant
Start by sharing details of your project with us! Ensure your submission aligns with our eligibility criteria and clearly communicates the impact and usefulness of your project within the Ethereum or broader web3 ecosystem.
2
Review process
Once submitted, your application will be reviewed by the Public Goods Working Group stewards on a rolling basis. The stewards will evaluate your project based on its usefulness and impact.
3
Deliver your milestones
If your project is selected, you will begin working on the milestones outlined in your submission. Please ensure proof of completion is clear.
4
Apply for another stage
After you successfully complete your milestones, you may be eligible to apply for additional funding or future grant opportunities to continue developing and scaling your public good.

Small grants (up to 2 ETH)

Receive up to 2 ETH in a stream that unlocks over 30 days. While milestone withdrawals do not need approval, each grant stage and its milestones will be reviewed by our stewards.

Apply for a grant

Large grants (up to 50k USDC)

Milestone funds will be unlocked and sent to you once the milestone completion is reviewed by our stewards.

Hi all! We're building Revoke.cash, the number 1 platform to manage your token approvals and stay safe on Ethereum and over 100+ other EVM chains. We've helped millions of users stay safe and prevented at least $140M potential losses in the past 5 years, all while being a 100% free and open source public good.
This year we've already released several new features, such as Abstract Global Wallet Sessions, Coverage and Delegations dashboard. On top of that we were the FIRST app on Ethereum to support EIP7702-based batch transactions, immediately when the Pectra update went live. We have some additional plans this year that are outlined in the milestones below.
We initially applied for large grants but as we've already received a large grant in 2024 as well, we're reapplying for a small grant instead.

SheFi Summit Africa

0 ETH withdrawn2 ETH
In 2019, Maggie Love, our Founder, noticed that despite the permission-less nature of blockchain, there’s a significant cultural, educational, and interest gap surrounding Web3.
So Maggie built SheFi and has onboarded almost 24,000 women.
It’s 2025 now – and that gap still exists.
What’s special about SheFi? It’s the #1 community for crypto education and career development. We’re closing the gap. SheFi Summits are the premier female-led conference in crypto and web3.
There’s no event quite like it. After 4 incredible women-led Summits in 2024, we’re bringing the energy to Accra for our best one yet.

Rust Ethereum Execution Client (REEC)

0xaB78545243655CcE3b2DAE442D2f1EA02b14BbBf avatar
0xaB78...BbBf
0 ETH withdrawn1 ETH
REEC is a lightweight Ethereum execution client in Rust. It aims to provide a modular and readable implementation of the Ethereum execution layer, while also serving as a practical base for experimentation and interoperability.
Ethereum’s infrastructure is increasingly modular, but execution clients remain bottlenecks for decentralization. Today, all execution clients are developed and maintained in Europe, North America, or Asia – None in and from Africa. REEC changes this by strengthening Ethereum through the introduction of diversity in both design (Rust-based, modular) and geography (built and maintained in Africa). This matters for Ethereum’s resilience and global inclusivity.
I have contributed to Ethereum infrastructure projects, including Lighthouse (Postgres backend for Beacon Node). Trin (Portal client Redb migration), and cryptography libraries (KZG proofs, FK20, FFTs). This background gives me the skills and experience to deliver REEC step by step.

Overview
Crecimiento is the movement bringing Argentina’s economy onchain. We operate at the intersection of infrastructure, community, and regulation — with a physical hub of 1,200+ monthly builders, 600+ startups, and the team behind Argentina’s first tokenization sandbox and upcoming onchain special economic zone.
As part of Aleph Festival — our multi-month builder funnel leading into Devconnect Buenos Aires — we’re organizing:
• Latam’s biggest Web3 hackathon (Aug 29–31) with 2,000+ participants (online + IRL).
• A 6-week buildathon accelerating the top 40+ teams with protocol partners.
• The Startup World Cup at Devconnect with 400+ teams competing on-chain.
Proposed ENS Activation
ENS’s contribution will directly support two core initiatives inside Aleph Festival:
1. Crecimiento Builder Track @ Aleph Hackathon
• A general-purpose bounty track run by Crecimiento — focused on real solutions to real problems in Latin America (privacy, DeFi, AI, governance, creator economy).
• Fully managed and judged by the Crecimiento team (no extra effort required from ENS).
2. ENS Subdomains for Hackers
• Distribution of free ENS subdomains to all hackathon participants who submit during the hackathon.
• Technical support from ENS team already pre-discussed — limited to enabling distribution process.
Requested Grant: 2 ETH
Grant Allocation:
• Bounties for Crecimiento Builder Track – to reward top projects solving real Latam challenges.
• ENS Subdomain Distribution – cover

ETH Daily is a free daily news briefing covering the latest developments in Ethereum. Available as both a podcast and a newsletter, it delivers concise, accessible summaries of Ethereum’s most important updates.
I am seeking funding to support the continued production of ETH Daily through the end of 2025. This is my first application to the ENS Builder Grants platform, though ETH Daily was a recipient of ENS Small Grants in both 2023 and 2024, support that has enabled the successful release of over 750 daily episodes to date.
Problem Statement
Ethereum news is fragmented across platforms like Twitter, Discord, and Telegram, making it hard for users and developers to stay up to date. ETH Daily cuts through the noise with a concise daily briefing, highlighting key updates across the ecosystem.
Why It Matters
As a reliable, high-signal educational public good, ETH Daily helps anyone interested in Ethereum stay consistently informed. Users and developers learn about protocol upgrades, EIPs, governance, new applications, and security incidents. Here’s what ETH Daily supporters have to say:

The European Decentralisation Institute is an independent and non-profit think tank advocating decentralisation as a strategic imperative for real digital sovereignty in Europe (the continent, not just the EU). Early partners include the Ethereum Foundation, the European Commission, and the Lisbon Council.
More on our website: https://eudecentralisation.org/
We're making the Institute a valuable network, bringing together a well-balanced mix of senior policymakers, C-level execs, and leading experts in the fields of economics, sociology, computer science, philosophy, and political science.
Promoting decentralisation in such a way means that we're finally opening a public-political debate, positioning ourselves as an international forum from where public good initiatives will stem out.
At present, we have five topics on the agenda:
- Decentralisation as a Strategic Imperative for Digital Sovereignty - Q3/Q4 2025
- Compliant Decentralised Infrastructure for Financial Sovereignty - Q4 2025
- Identity without Intermediaries: A Next Step Towards True Sovereignty for European Citizens - Q1 2026
- Resilient Energy Systems - Q2 2026
- AI with Confidence - Q3 2026
We believe that ENS DAO would be a valuable Research Partner on the Identity topic. You'd be closely involved and receive early access to the results, besides participating in the invite-only roundtable meeting.
