Hey Everyone, I have created this grant ecosystem updated for the community. All these information is public and transparent, but think it is valuable to have this information all in one place.
There has been a significant progress with most grantees in the last few months.
Teams building LSD pools Staking & Operator services have been focusing on launching functional testnet deployment.
Teams building tooling have been working hard on making every other project’s life in the ecosystem easier. Notification services (Hal, Hellman) have launched on Goerli, Key splitting UI has been built and a new ssv explorer, node rating, node metadata and DKG teams are making good progress.
Note: I have decided to use full links instead of link targets since it’s a much better security practice and I believe it is worth the slightly worse readability.
