Do you take pleasure in fixing fascinating and difficult issues? Are you interested by getting concerned on the most foundational degree of the Ethereum protocol?
The Protocol Assist Group (EF) is worked up to announce that purposes are actually being accepted for the third cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (formerly Core Developer Apprenticeship Program (CDAP))!
With the Merge closing in (58750000000000000000000 🥳), Ethereum core builders are trying ahead to the following steps within the protocol’s growth and there’s a want for certified and dedicated folks to assist create an more and more highly effective and strong Ethereum community.
Enter the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship.
What’s the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF)?
The EPF is a program designed to onboard builders to the method via which protocol growth occurs. It is a chance to dive deep into the protocol and be taught whereas additionally working carefully with others on the identical studying trajectory in addition to the core growth neighborhood.
Core protocol growth isn’t simple work, however it’s fascinating, difficult, and rewarding. Sadly, this work additionally has a really giant barrier to entry. It requires a excessive diploma of fluency within the precise protocols themselves. It requires a deep understanding of many various engineering ideas. It requires wonderful written and verbal communication abilities. The intention of this program is to offer a neater onramp for getting previous these obstacles, and to offer the preliminary help and steering to launch you into working aspect by aspect with core devs.
Particulars
Previous Cohorts
EPF has beforehand hosted two profitable cohorts. In that point, previous cohort members have:
- Labored on an alternate technique of documenting and specifying the Ethereum protocol.
- Researched how we will modify or take away the SELFDESTRUCT opcode
- Helped construct ZKSync
- Constructed out new peer-to-peer networks for the Portal Community.
- Wrote their very own implementation of the EVM
- 10 cohort alumni now work full-time on core protocol growth and 5 others work in adjoining areas of the trade.
Have a Actual Impression
Core protocol growth is a key position in caring for and enhancing the multi-billion greenback Ethereum protocol; a protocol that we consider will play a key position in making a extra honest and equitable future for humanity. Need to be part of us in constructing a future you will get enthusiastic about?
