ETC Grants Dao

The ETC GRANTS DAO (“EGD”) is a non-profit autonomous organization composed of Ethereum Classic enthusiasts, supporters, and developers, aiming to promote the growth of the ecosystem and long-term development of Ethereum Classic. Mission: Our aim is to unite the ETC community to develop the Ethereum Classic PoW blockchain into the leading global smart-contract-based, public chain with high security, decentralization, immutability, and censorship resistance. EGD Grants Program: In July of 2022, BITMAIN and ANTPOOL announced that they were committing 10 million dollars for funding projects of the Ethereum Classic ecosystem. Half of that amount is being held in Tether (USDT) in a Safe multisig wallet ( 0xA208...E8D6 ) on the Ethereum mainnet and the other half was used to purchase $ETC in November of 2022, which is being held in a Safe multisig wallet ( 0x3db3...2f82 ) on the Ethereum Classic mainnet. The ETC Cooperative will be contributing 250 thousand dollars to the EGD grants program as well.
