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 Help Staff (EF) is happy to announce that purposes are actually being accepted for the third cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (previously Core Developer Apprenticeship Program [CDAP])!
With the Merge closing in (58750000000000000000000 ?), Ethereum core builders are wanting ahead to the following steps within the protocol’s improvement 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 by which protocol improvement occurs. It is a chance to dive deep into the protocol and study whereas additionally working intently with others on the identical studying trajectory in addition to the core improvement neighborhood.
Core protocol improvement isn’t simple work, however it’s fascinating, difficult, and rewarding. Sadly, this work additionally has a really massive barrier to entry. It requires a excessive diploma of fluency within the precise protocols themselves. It requires a deep understanding of many alternative engineering ideas. It requires glorious written and verbal communication abilities. The intention of this program is to offer a better onramp for getting previous these boundaries, and to offer the preliminary help and steerage to launch you into working facet by facet with core devs.
Particulars
Previous Cohorts
EPF has beforehand hosted two profitable cohorts. In that point, previous cohort members have:
- Labored on an alternate methodology of documenting and specifying the Ethereum protocol.
- Researched how we are able to 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 improvement and 5 others work in adjoining areas of the trade.
Have a Actual Impression
Core protocol improvement is a key position in caring for and enhancing the multi-billion greenback Ethereum protocol; a protocol that we imagine will play a key position in making a extra honest and equitable future for humanity. Wish to be a part of us in constructing a future you may get enthusiastic about?
