We’re excited to announce that applications for the Next Billion Fellowship Program are now open!
What is the Next Billion Fellowship Program?
The Next Billion Fellowship Program is a search for stories – tangible, human stories that show how Ethereum is helping communities address the challenges they face.
Whether it’s implementing digital badges and wallets for millions of scouts worldwide, creating more efficient and affordable crop insurance for smallholder farmers in Kenya, or exploring the role of decentralized systems during humanitarian crises in Syria, each Fellow’s story helps us see Ethereum’s role in human society, not as an abstract technology, but as a tool for solving real problems and creating meaningful change.
Through the six months program, we provide project funding, mentorship, access to our network, and opportunities for exposure.
