Do you get pleasure from fixing attention-grabbing and difficult issues? Are you curious about getting concerned on the most foundational degree of the Ethereum protocol?
The Protocol Help Staff (EF) is happy to announce that purposes at the moment are 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 trying ahead to the subsequent steps within the protocol’s improvement and there’s a want for certified and dedicated individuals to assist create an more and more highly effective and sturdy 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 means of which protocol improvement occurs. It is a chance to dive deep into the protocol and be taught whereas additionally working intently with others on the identical studying trajectory in addition to the core improvement neighborhood.
Core protocol improvement isn’t straightforward work, however it’s attention-grabbing, 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 glorious written and verbal communication abilities. The intention of this program is to supply a better onramp for getting previous these obstacles, and to supply the preliminary assist 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 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 improvement and 5 others work in adjoining areas of the business.
Have a Actual Influence
Core protocol improvement is a key function in caring for and enhancing the multi-billion greenback Ethereum protocol; a protocol that we imagine will play a key function in making a extra truthful and equitable future for humanity. Need to be part of us in constructing a future you may get enthusiastic about?
