The Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF) Cohort 7 is now open for applications, with a deadline of May 13.

Odaily星球日报讯 The Ethereum Protocol Support Team has announced the launch of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship Cohort 7 (EPF7), with the application channel now open and a deadline of May 13.

The program aims to cultivate engineers capable of contributing to the development of the Ethereum core protocol, centering around the network’s core attributes including censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security. It focuses on areas such as client implementations, protocol specifications, testing, and cutting-edge research.

EPF7 will be adjusted to a “small-scale, high-density” model this time, reducing the number of participants to enhance the depth of mentorship and the quality of project contributions, while strengthening collaboration opportunities with the core development team. The project period for this cohort runs from June to November. Selected participants will receive guidance and support from the Ethereum core developer community, and some participants will also receive monthly grants to focus on protocol development work. The program goals include supplying long-term contributors to the Ethereum core R&D team and driving participants to produce substantive results in client development and protocol research.

It is reported that the EPF team will hold an online informational session on May 6 at 15:00 UTC to further introduce project details and answer application-related questions.
