Ethereum Protocol 101 by Mario Havel

​Course 7/7: Ethereum Protocol Fellowship: Becoming a Core Contributor.

​Want to go beyond studying?

​The Ethereum Foundation runs the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF) — a 5-month program designed for developers and researchers who want to contribute directly to the protocol.

​In this session, we cover:

• ​What the EPF is

• ​How it works

• ​What fellows actually do

• ​How to prepare

• ​How the Study Group connects to the Fellowship

​The EPF typically runs June–November and pairs participants with client teams working on real protocol improvements.

​This is not theoretical learning — it’s hands-on contribution.

​If your goal is to become a core developer, this is the path.
