TL;DR:
We are excited to announce that applications are now open for the seventh cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF7).
EPF provides a pathway for future protocol developers to make meaningful contributions to Ethereum. In each cohort, a diverse group is assembled to work toward advancing Ethereum’s roadmap focused on the fundamental properties that define Ethereum; censorship resistance, open source, privacy and security. This includes developing customer implementations, tests and specifications, as well as participating in the latest research on core protocols. With the overarching goal of finding placement for fellows in R&D teams working on core protocol development, the EPF provides participants with a unique opportunity to collaborate with talented peers, engage with current leading Ethereum developers, and make a lasting impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.
EPF7 updates
After thinking about each cohort, we make adjustments to better serve both the R&D teams and program participants. For Cohort 7, we are running a smaller, more targeted cohort, prioritizing depth of engagement over breadth. This allows fellows to work more closely with their mentors and make greater contributions to the projects they undertake.
Program Details
- Applications accepted via May 13 | APPLY HERE
- The seventh cohort extends from June through November
- Participants will have access to mentors from the core development community
- Selected participants will receive a monthly stipend to focus on the program.
- Consult all the details of the program in the EPF7 repository
- Study.epf.wiki to develop your protocol knowledge
Each cohort surprised us. Fellows ship real work, join client teams, and stay on as long-term contributors to the ecosystem. Explore the projects of past fellows from previous cohorts and see what the fellowship has produced.
Applications are open until May 13. For more information, see the program details in the GitHub repository. On May 6 has 1500 At UTC, the EPF team will hold a town hall to discuss the program and answer questions.
EPF7 will be a small cohort and we are looking for people who are really ready to get involved. If this is you, apply and join us.
