## Summary

The Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Support Program lists its Q2 2026 grant allocations, covering dozens of funded projects across protocol research, client development, zero-knowledge proofs, cryptography, security tooling, privacy, and ecosystem/education initiatives. Highlights include continued funding for consensus clients (Lodestar, Lighthouse, Ream, Gean), ZK proving infrastructure (Ethproofs on-prem GPU initiatives), formal verification efforts (Verity, CompPoly, LeanAgent), AI-assisted security scanning tools (Cantina Apex, Octane, ETHeorem), privacy tooling (Kohaku wallet, Quixote, Open Anonymity Project), and numerous EF internship program tracks spanning cryptography, protocol security, zkEVM, and consensus research.
