The ethereum Foundation is pleased 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 $150,000 in funding, bringing the total grant fund to $900,000.
The breadth and complexity of the Layer 2 ecosystem has reached a point where identifying shared needs and dependencies requires the involvement of domain experts from a variety of stakeholders. Therefore, co-financiers will not only provide funding but will also participate in allocation decisions.
Beyond increased and better informed funding, we hope this approach will facilitate greater modularity and the use of shared standards in the ZK L2 ecosystem. For this round the research teams have collaborated in a collective ethereum.org/@drigolvc/ZK-Round-Wishlist”>wish list as a guide to get inspired by the project.
