Ethereum protocol has completed the fifth regiment, and its climax reached the day of EPF at Devcon in Bangkok. Its completion is 5 months of overwhelming learning, research, and contributing to the basic ethereum ecological system from a group of talented and dedicated colleagues. Customer Dave and researchers welcomed the new shareholders, some of whom remained working with them in the long run.
In addition, the second repetition of the protocol study group concluded two months of intense learning about the basic protocol.
To learn more about EPF, take a look at some Previous jobs Regiment Warehouses.
What is new
With each group, we collect the comments and learn more about how to improve the experience of colleagues and ethereum devs. EPF5 brought some prominent changes, which led to a very fruitful group.
Before EPF5, we organized the first Protocol study group Which lasted for 10 weeks, which led to the EPF5. For those ten weeks, students participated in a designed approach to educating all areas of the protocol. This led to a smoother on board, as many colleagues are ready for EPF with more knowledge and resources.
The other main change in EPF5 was the duration, which spanned 4 to 5 months, giving colleagues an additional month to improve their projects and aim to larger ranges.
Similar to previous regiments, we hosted the EPF on Devcon to close the regiment. However, for the EPF5, we also organized an additional EPF day near the start of the regiment during the ethcc in Brussels. This event gave colleagues an opportunity to meet each other and the guides and provide the projects that they will work on through the regiment.
EPF5 statistics
The fifth regiment’s requests were opened in May 2024. After reviewing more than 300 requests, 20 participants were granted primary salaries to participate in the fellowship that works in basic research and development projects. Because the program is open, 25 additional participants join without permission. After a period of 5 months and more than 500 weekly updates, we finished the regiment with 30 active colleagues on EPF in Bangkok.
EPF5 projects
In all, colleagues suggested and contributed to 30 projects, with guides from various research and research teams, including Grandine, PRYSM, LightHouse, Besu, Nimbus, Nethermind, Geth, Teku, RIG and RIG. These projects are not only a valuable educational experience, but also representative contributions to the ethereum core. You can learn more about the project results in Final reports and View records from EPF day.

All program resources can be found in EPF5 warehouseWith the majority of activity in
/Development updates And proposals in /Projects. As an active part of ETHEREUM open research, all EPF projects and resources are free and open source.
The protocol study group continues
the Protocol study group He returned to 2025! In renewed coordination, starting in two intense weeks, they turn the current resources, followed by an additional 6 weeks of new lectures from the main developers. Completely, we have created more A comprehensive approach With the focus on each part of the implementation of the consensus layer.
This is not just a program before the indicator to EPF but it is a comprehensive approach for anyone who wants to learn more about the ethreum etheum. The materials and recordings of the study group sessions are always available as an organized educational experience, along with a cooperative Wiki that has been built by independent shareholders. Whether you are preparing for fellowship or just wanting to know some aspects of ETAREUM, epf.wiki It contains all the resources you need.
The next group soon ™ ️
We are preparing for the sixth group of Ethereum. For anyone interested in diving in the development of ETHEREUM CORE, watching the request for the request later in April with a group of June. To get a notification, join to EPF mail menu.
Meanwhile, you can prepare by ensuring an essential understanding of the ethereum (EPF.wiki and the former soil representing a great place to start), publicly contributing to open projects, especially projects in the ethereum ecosystem, and giving some thinking about the type of project you may want to work on.
