Ethereum Foundation Announces Round 23 of Academic Grants

 

Academic Grants Ethereum


The Ethereum Foundation has announced the recipients of its 23rd round of academic grants, continuing its commitment to fostering research and development in the blockchain space. 

The grants aim to support a variety of projects, from large-scale text analysis and survey experiments to legal studies and ethnographic research.

Among the notable projects is a study led by Eliza R Oak, Dr. Emmanuel Joel Aikins Abakah, and Mohammad Abdullah from Yale, University of Ghana, and UniSZA, Malaysia. 

The project aims to identify the key drivers and barriers to blockchain adoption across Africa, with a particular focus on Ghana. The researchers plan to construct a Blockchain Attitudes Adoption Index for all African nations, comparing it with measures of financial sector stability.

Another significant project is the "Blockchain Censorship - Quantitative Analysis of Censorship on Public Blockchains" led by a team from the Technical University of Munich, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Hebrew University, Imperial College London, University College London, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Surrey. 

The research will formalize, quantify, and analyze the security impact of blockchain censorship, providing a holistic overview of censorship on the consensus layer and application layer.

The "DAO Model Law" project, led by Dr. Primavera De Filippi and her team from COALA (Coalition of Legal Automated Applications), aims to enhance legal recognition and protections for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). 

The project focuses on revising and updating the DAO Model Law v1.0, originally released in 2021, to address advancements in technology and changes in governance norms over the past two years.

A research project from Monash University, led by Dr. Shazim Khalid and Andrei O.J. Kwok, will explore the experiences, challenges, and opportunities of using Ethereum as a microcredit system in developing countries, specifically Kenya. 

The study aims to inform policymakers, financial institutions, and developers about the practical implications of blockchain-based microcredit systems.

The Ethereum Foundation's academic grants round is a significant initiative that supports the exploration and understanding of blockchain technology. 

The selected projects reflect the diverse applications of Ethereum and its potential to drive innovation and change in various sectors, from finance and law to social sciences and software development. 

The foundation's commitment to fostering academic research underscores its dedication to the growth and sustainability of the Ethereum ecosystem. [pc]
