On October 11th, the Ethereum Foundation's EcoDev research team launched five full-time researcher places, which will provide researchers with a six-month research scholarship aimed at exploring emerging use cases of Ethereum and seeking innovative research proposals to promote the development of the ecosystem. Applicants need to submit applications by November 15, 2024. EcoDev expects researchers to provide monthly progress reports and a final report summarizing their findings at the end of the six months.
