Best grants on Ethereum
Ethereum is the largest smart-contract blockchain by total value locked and developer count. The ecosystem spans every Web3 vertical, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, DAOs, identity, gaming, and the L2 networks (Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, zkSync) that scale the base layer. Builders working on Ethereum get access to the deepest liquidity, most mature tooling, and the largest pool of users, at the cost of higher fees and slower confirmations than newer L1s. Below is Dapping's curated shortlist of the top grants active on Ethereum right now.
