On November 18, 2021, the EOS Network Foundation [announced](https://medium.com/eos-network-foundation/next-level-collaboration-on-eos-with-sponsored-working-groups-f629ae501977) it would invest in establishing four EOS working groups: Wallet+, API+, Audit+, and Core+. Each working group was granted US$250,000 to conduct research and related development work in their respective areas.

The EOS Network Foundation also took the lead in uniting several EOSIO-based blockchain networks such as Telos, WAX, and UX network to establish the [Antelope Coation](https://eosnetwork.com/antelope/).

Other [working groups](https://eosnetwork.com/technology/) have been added since November. For example, [Recover+](https://eosnetwork.com/blog/detect-respond-recover-a-novel-response-to-security-on-eos-with-recover/), [Yield+](https://eosnetwork.com/blog/eos-yield-blue-paper/), and [EOS EVM](https://eosnetwork.com/eos-evm/). More research is [planned](https://eosnetwork.com/technology/) (Scalability+). The result of these working groups' blue papers can be found on the [ENF website](https://eosnetwork.com/technology/).
