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 aspiring 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 core properties that define Ethereum; censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security. This includes the development of client implementations, testing and specifications, and engaging with the latest core protocol research. With an overarching goal of finding placement for fellows in R&D teams working on core protocol development, EPF gives participants a unique opportunity to collaborate with talented peers, engage with current Ethereum core developers, and make a lasting impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.
EPF7 Updates
After reflecting on each cohort, we make adjustments to better serve both R&D teams and program participants. For cohort 7, we are running a smaller, more focused cohort, prioritizing depth of engagement over breadth. This allows fellows to work more closely with mentors and make higher-impact contributions to the projects they take on.
