The Ethereum Foundation just awarded nearly $3 million in grants to a number of blockchain startups and developers as part of its ongoing grant program.
In a blog post Monday, the Ethereum Foundation Grants Team released its fourth wave of grants. All told, $2.86 million was awarded to 20 different individuals or groups for work on client diversity, usability, scalability, security and simply for building tools.
As previously reported, the grant program was originally intended to support development on the ethereum blockchain so as to aid in the development of decentralized applications (dapps) and smart contract technology.
