It’s always fun to hear about new grants as they are awarded, but what happens after the announcement? In this series, we’ll look at some projects that are well underway – or already at the finish line. Read on to learn about some recent milestones and achievements from grantees!
Devfolio For Ethereum Stock Market India 2.0
Devfolio’s Ethereum India Fellowship 2.0 had two streams, each targeting different groups for 8 rigorous weeks of training and mentoring with the aim of onboarding talented developers into the Ethereum ecosystem. Track 1 brought 20 talented Web2 developers with little to no experience with blockchain to:
- Learn the basics of Ethereum development such as Solidity, Remix, and Hardhat.
- Explore a variety of use cases, from defi to DAOs, NFTs and decentralized storage
- Work on an Ethereum-based project of their choice
Track 2 targeted intermediate Web3 developers to focus more intensely on developing a project over the full 8 weeks. Projects ranged from new L2 implementations to secure privacy infrastructure, with mentorship from industry veterans.
THE EtherPunk Online Hackathonwhich took place during the first half of the fellowship program, was a timely opportunity for fellows to submit their projects to the hackathon and connect with prominent developers for presentations and feedback sessions.
Fellows have accomplished a lot during and after the program: developers who started the program with little or no knowledge of Ethereum have already won thousands of dollars in hackathon prizes and landed internships at leading Ethereum companies. ecosystem. You can see the final project submissions of the fellows here.

Web3 Labs For Web3j
Web3j is a JVM and Android integration library for Ethereum, created with the aim of making it easy for Java developers to work with Ethereum. Java is one of the most commonly used languages in businesses, and JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is one of the most used development platforms. Web3j, first released by Web3 Labs founder Conor Svensson in 2016 with the aim of supporting JVM developers, has been developed and maintained by Web3 Labs since 2017. Web3 Labs has received a grant to continue its work on Web3j, with recent work including:
- Web3j update documentation
- Updated Maven plugin
- Development on Solidity library dependency management
- Added support for smart contract migration
The Web3 Labs team will continue to manage Web3j, with planned work including improvements to the developer experience, implementation of the eth2 client open API, and improvements requested in a recent user survey as well as ongoing maintenance.
