The Ethereum Protocol Fellow (EPF) program is designed to lower the barriers to entry for developers who are interested in working on core protocol. Piper Merriam (core developer and EPF creator), likes saying that the door is comically large open. EPF will help you to walk through the door.
Over the past two cohorts, one of the most frequent request we’ve received from applicants & participants was for better onboarding materials. Josh and Mario, coordinators of EPF, are proud to announce the launch the EPF Study Group (EPFsg), a 10-week education series that will serve as a prelude to the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (the fifth cohort is coming 🔜). EPFsg is designed to guide the next The course will train the next generation of Ethereum Core developers, and give them a thorough understanding of Ethereum’s internal mechanics.
Bridging the Gap
Understanding the Ethereum Protocol is a complicated, but essential, endeavor. The study group aims to bridge the gap by offering a curriculum focused on all parts of the Ethereum stack & roadmap.
Review of the Ethereum Protocol Studies Program
Program Details
The EPF Study Group is a webinar-style live program consisting of 2 phases. The first phase will consist of a 90-minute class each week and will focus on an overview of Ethereum’s structure. The students can choose to follow either the research or the development track in the later phase. Each track will have its own own The 90-minute weekly class is a deep dive in the chosen topic.
Students will learn about Ethereum’s core protocols by diving into topics such as:
- Protocol design
- Implementations, specs and architecture of the execution and consensus layer
- Test methods and tools
- Current research and road map items
- Verkle trees
- Sharding
- MEV
- Proof of purchase stake You can also check out our other products.
- State and History Expiry
The online sessions will be lead by core developers and researchers from different client teams and research group. They will provide pre-meeting materials to familiarize you with the topic, terminology and activities after-meeting to reinforce and solidify understanding.
Students will also develop a comprehensive Wiki, which will serve as a knowledge base for core developers. Students will gain practical experience by contributing to open-source software. source While gaining experience in community-driven development and documentation, you will also gain valuable resources.
