The Next Billion Fellowship at the Ethereum Foundation is inviting individuals with stories to tell about today and projects that work towards tomorrow. Starting now and until January 15th, 2024, applications are open for Cohort 4 of the Fellowship.

Over six months, Fellows will explore and work on a project that represents their personal quest towards a better future, with help from peers/mentors from around the Ethereum expanded universe. There are no set guidelines for a Fellowship project, and projects have included pieces of research, building proofs-of-concept, and initiatives outside of the web3 space.

The only requirement is that Fellows be able to openly share their words (or code) with the community and be able to represent their project’s context in public.

To gain a better understanding of the Fellowship, two “Office Hours” calls will be conducted during the application period on December 6th, 2023 at 16:00 UTC and January 9th, 2024 at 06:00 UTC. Those interested in attending should register here.

The Next Billion Fellowship is just a small story part of a larger narrative, and incoming Fellows will work on their project long after the Fellowship has finished. We thank you for your interest, and look forward to hearing your stories.
