About Our Organization
OUR MISSION
We are missioned to be flexible, nimble and adaptive to the needs of the decentralisation communities.
WHO WE ARE
As a crypto-native, cross-network, community-founded & non-profit organisation, we've been initiating, supporting and promoting projects to expand and reach the potential of blockchain & Ethereum ecosystems. We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers, designers and developers distributed around all corners of the world.
Our grants legacy
As one of the first cross-network community initiatives, ECF was first conceptualized at Devcon 3 in 2017 in Cancun, Mexico and officially started in 2018 in Tokyo, Japan under the advisorship of Ethereum Foundation
The early community of Ethereum builders (MakerDAO, Status, web 3 Web3 Foundation, Cosmos, OMG Network, Golem) founded ECF as a grants program to support the development of critical infrastructure and public goods in the ecosystem

Our Organization's Roadmap
"The truth, It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution"
— Albus Dumbledore
A community fund
ECF's first iteration was as a Non-Profit organisation that was founded by the Ethereum communities to serve as a grant program that supports the development of the general Web3 web 3 ecosystem
A network of funds
As a second iteration our grant program was upgraded to support the ecosystem's projects growth by providing strategic consultation and connections to a network of funds
A platform for funding
We have a lot in store for the next 5 to 10 years.
Our third iteration is a decentralised Web3 web 3 project knowledge network (advised by Ethereum Community Fund), a community-coordination App where everyone can publish, discover, contribute, share and fund Blockchain & Web3 web 3 projects
About ECF
Since 2018 the ECF team have been supporting and funding the development of real web3 infrastructure, today we are building the frameworks for everyone to coordinate their support for the technologies they find to be legitimate and necessary for the space.
