In summary:
We are excited to announce that applications are now open for the fifth cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF5).
The EPF provides a way for potential protocol contributors to make meaningful contributions to Ethereum. In each cohort, a diverse group is assembled to work on advancing Ethereum technology during the fellowship. This includes everything from developing client implementations, testing and specifications, to participating in the latest research on core protocols.
The program offers fellows a unique opportunity to collaborate with other talented individuals, engage with current Ethereum developers and fellow peers, and make a meaningful impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.
The EPF is a permissionless program. Everyone is welcome to participate with the same access and support offered to selected fellows. A portion of the fellowship budget is allocated to reward active permissionless participants.
