TL;DR: Applications for the fourth cohort of EPF are now open!
Submit your application here before June 16th.
Greetings, Ethereum community!
We are excited to announce that the application period for the fourth cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF) is officially open!
The EPF is an initiative aimed at supporting the development of Ethereum’s core protocol by providing a pathway for aspiring protocol contributors to gain the experience needed to make meaningful contributions. This program is specifically tailored toward developers and researchers who have an unyielding passion for Ethereum, its community, and the possibilities of decentralized technology.
In each cohort, we seek to assemble a diverse group of fellows who will work to advance Ethereum’s technology during the four month fellowship. This includes everything from the development of client implementations, testing and specifications, and participating in the latest core protocol research.
The program provides fellows with a unique opportunity to collaborate with other talented individuals, to engage with current Ethereum core developers and fellowship peers, and to make a significant impact on the Ethereum ecosystem. Whether you’re a seasoned developer in the blockchain space, a promising computer science student, or a researcher with an interest in cryptography and economics, we encourage you to apply!
