TL;DR:
Hello, Ethereum community!
We are thrilled to inform you that the application window for the fourth cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF) is now officially open!
The EPF is a program designed to facilitate the improvement of Ethereum’s main protocol by creating avenues for aspiring contributors to acquire the expertise necessary for making substantial contributions. This initiative is particularly aimed at developers and researchers who possess a fervent enthusiasm for Ethereum, its community, and the potential of decentralized technology.
In every cohort, we strive to gather a varied group of fellows who will collaborate to enhance Ethereum’s technology during the four-month fellowship. This encompasses everything from developing client implementations, conducting tests and specifications, to engaging in cutting-edge core protocol research.
The program offers fellows a distinct chance to cooperate with other skilled individuals, interact with existing Ethereum core developers and fellow peers, and leave a meaningful mark on the Ethereum ecosystem. Whether you are an experienced developer in the blockchain domain, an aspiring computer science student, or a researcher interested in cryptography and economics, we welcome your application!
Details
- Applications are accepted from June 1st to June 18th, 2023 – APPLY HERE
- The fourth cohort will take place from July to November 2023, culminating in a face-to-face event at Devconnect in Istanbul
- Participants will be provided with access to mentors from the core development community
- Chosen participants will receive a monthly allowance to enable them to concentrate on the program
The EPF is an entirely open program. Anyone is invited to take part in the initiative with the same advantages and support offered to the chosen fellows. A percentage of the stipend budget is set aside to incentivize active open participants.
In the previous cohorts, we have had some exceptionally remarkable fellows who have contributed significantly to Ethereum, and we are eager to witness the achievements of the fourth cohort. To gain insight into the types of projects that have been undertaken and to seek inspiration for your own, you can explore the work of fellows from the first, second, and third cohorts.
Applications are currently open and will be accepted until June 18, 2023. For further information, kindly check the program details available in the GitHub repository. On June 12th at 4:30PM UTC, the EPF team conducted a town hall to discuss the program and address any queries.
Together, let us keep building a promising future for Ethereum. We eagerly await to see what you will create.
