We\u2019re excited to announce that applications<\/a> for the Next Billion Fellowship Program are now open!<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>What is the Next Billion Fellowship Program?<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s implementing digital badges and wallets for millions of scouts worldwide<\/a>, creating more efficient and affordable crop insurance for smallholder farmers in Kenya<\/a>, or exploring the role of decentralized systems during humanitarian crises in Syria<\/a>, each Fellow\u2019s story helps us see Ethereum\u2019s role in human society, not as an abstract technology, but as a tool for solving real problems and creating meaningful change.<\/p>\n

Through the six months program, we provide project funding, mentorship, access to our network, and opportunities for exposure.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Applications Are Open!<\/h2>\n
