What is the Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation (KEF)?

The Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation (KEF) is an organization dedicated to funding and accelerating the growth of the Kaspa ecosystem. KEF works across several areas at once: it makes strategic investments, awards research grants, builds industry connections through networking, and runs global marketing efforts — all aimed at expanding Kaspa's reach. For a beginner, KEF matters because it is one of the main reasons developers get support to build on Kaspa and why the network's infrastructure keeps improving over time.
