The Ethereum Foundation is offering $2 million in grants to support academic research related to Ethereum, with applications accepted until 23:59 AoE on March 16, 2025. This marks the third iteration of its annual Academic Grants Round, following successful programs in 2023 and 2024.

The development emerges as the Ethereum Foundation appoints Aya Miyaguchi to President, a strategic shift reflecting its evolving leadership framework. The 2025 round seeks proposals across disciplines such as economics, cryptography, consensus protocols, security, and humanities.

Researchers worldwide are encouraged to submit projects at any stage, from conceptual ideas to near-complete work, provided they align with the foundation’s goals. Last year’s round drew 300 applications from 25 countries, reflecting growing global academic interest in Ethereum.

This year, the foundation’s blog post notes, the foundation aims to expand participation further, emphasizing innovative approaches and contributions to Ethereum’s ecosystem. Eligible applicants include academic institutions, researchers, educators, and teams. Proposals must include a detailed plan, budget, timeline, and public repository links.

Undergraduate researchers require postdoctoral advisors. The announcement details that all funded projects must produce open-access research. Excluded are financial products, art projects, retroactive funding requests, and ventures involving token launches.

Submissions will be judged on impact, team expertise, clarity, and alignment with Ethereum’s priorities. The declaration arrives in tandem with the foundation’s recent strategic allocations of resources into decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms engineered to harmonize with Ethereum’s protocol.
