Ecosystem Support Program (ESP)

ESP is the public-facing allocation arm of the Ethereum Foundation focused on strengthening Ethereum's foundations and enabling future builders: improving infrastructure, expanding the range of tools available to those building on Ethereum, deepening our understanding of cryptographic primitives, and growing the builder ecosystem through education and community development.

🏆 Prize - ERC-4337: Paymasters, Developer Tooling and Freestyle

We encourage building in any of the 3 domains listed below and recommend using Trampoline during development. The top 3 projects submitted (regardless of domain) will each receive 1,666 USD.

To be clear - We are looking specifically for ERC-4337, not account abstraction in general. For a project to be eligible, it must demonstrate actual usage of the EntryPoint smart contract. Please assist our team to easily test your submissions by attaching a link to a demo tx on Etherscan/Jiffyscan.

🚨SUBMISSIONS MUST INCLUDE A LINK TO A TX THAT USES THE OFFICIAL ERC-4337 ENTRYPOINT CONTRACT! WITHOUT A LINK, WE WILL NOT REVIEW YOUR SUBMISSION 🚨

Paymasters: An interesting implementation of a paymaster contract into an application flow (e.g. Sybil-resistant gas sponsoring, paymasters swapping tokens for ETH, paymasters that run on ads), creative use of existing paymaster SDKs as part of an app/wallet, or tools for paymasters to manage their paymaster contract.

Developer Tooling: Simplify the developer experience by enhancing an existing developer tool to support ERC-4337 (e.g. Foundry, Hardhat, Brownie, web3py, ethers.js, wagmi, web3.js). We want developers to have a simple experience when building with ERC-4337 with the existing tools they already know. Alternatively, create a new dev tool to support ERC-4337.

Freestyle: Demonstrate a unique and creative use of ERC-4337. Not another wallet please 😊 We want you to think outside the box!

Privacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE)

The PSE team explores new use cases for zero-knowledge proofs and other cryptographic primitives through research and proof-of-concepts.

🏆 Total $5,000 in Prizes - $1,250 each for the top 4 projects

We encourage building in any of the 3 tools listed below. The top 4 projects submitted will each receive $1,250.

Semaphore Protocol: A ZK toolkit for proving you belong to a group and signaling without revealing you identity.

Unirep Protocol: A ZK protocol that expands reputation to include anonymous identifiers for user preferences, alignment, and ownership.

e2e-zk-ecdsa/Anon Klub: A ZK protocol for performing ECDSA computation inside a SNARK. This can give rise to anonymous signaling applications (proof of membership, private airdrops, etc.).
