Summary:
We are thrilled to announce that applications are now open for the fifth edition of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF5).
The EPF offers a unique opportunity for aspiring protocol contributors to make valuable contributions to Ethereum. Each cohort consists of a diverse group dedicated to enhancing Ethereum’s technology throughout the fellowship. This encompasses everything from developing client implementations and specifications to engaging in groundbreaking core protocol research.
The program allows fellows to collaborate with other talented individuals, interact with current Ethereum core developers and fellowship peers, and significantly impact the Ethereum ecosystem.
The EPF is an inclusive program; anyone can participate and receive the same access and support as the selected fellows. A portion of the stipend budget is allocated to incentivize active participants.
