Request for Proposals (RFPs)
RFPs define focused problems and outline clear target outcomes. They are more prescriptive and time-bound, providing opportunities for specific research, development, or implementation efforts that address identified needs within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Integrating LLMs into Ethereum Protocol Security Research
An RFP to design and implement tools that apply large language models (LLMs) to Ethereum protocol security research. The goal is to automate parts of the auditing and specification-compliance process across client implementations, reducing manual work while improving coverage and accuracy. Projects should deliver deployable systems that can parse evolving specifications, compare them to client codebases, and flag inconsistencies or specification drift. Proposals must focus on integration into real workflows such as CI pipelines or GitHub PR checks, not on research-only prototypes. Full details, background, and proposal requirements are available in the document linked in Resources.
Ethereum Community Hubs
This RFP invites proposals to establish or expand permanent Ethereum Community Hubs around the world. These hubs are open, inclusive spaces designed for local communities, visitors, and temporary residents to co-work, attend and host events, learn, and collaborate with the global Ethereum ecosystem. Each community hub should be locally managed and self-sustaining, combining co-working areas, regular events and programming, and educational initiatives that foster innovation and community growth. With continuous guidance and lightweight support from the Ethereum Everywhere team, these hubs will act as anchors for local ecosystems and bridges to the global Ethereum network, strengthening collaboration, education, and long-term sustainability. We welcome proposals from both new and existing initiatives that aim to create sustainable community hubs focused on co-working, education, research, and developer support. Each community hub should be open and accessible to the public and promote collaboration rather than exclusivity. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis, and we seek to support multiple initiatives. Please use the application template provided in the Resources section when submitting your proposal.
