TL;DR:
We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the fifth cohort of the ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF5).
The EPF provides a path for aspiring protocol contributors to make significant contributions to ethereum. In each cohort, a diverse group comes together to work toward ethereum.org/en/roadmap/”>advancing ethereum technology during the scholarship. This includes everything from developing client implementations, testing and specifications, to participating in the latest core protocol research.
The program provides fellows with a unique opportunity to collaborate with other talented individuals, interact with current ethereum core developers and their peers, and make a significant impact on the ethereum ecosystem.
The EPF is a permit-free program. Anyone is welcome to participate with the same access and support offered to selected fellows. A portion of the stipend budget is allocated to rewarding active furlough participants.
