Paradigm Fellowship 2024

06.25.2024|Georgios KonstantopoulosDoug FeaginCharlie Noyes


Paradigm's mission is to solve the hardest problems in crypto, at all levels of the stack: consensus, execution, smart contract engineering, tooling, MEV, mechanism and market design.

Today, we're launching the 2024 Paradigm Fellowship, a program to gather crypto's most formidable young engineers and researchers to tackle these challenges.

Fellows will work together with the Paradigm team on whatever areas are most interesting to them during an in-person San Francisco retreat September 26 - 29. The retreat is built around research discussions led by fellows, Paradigm and industry leaders.

The fellowship is built for deeply technical, obsessive, and curious people early in their crypto journeys. We value slope over intercept and have no expectation that you are well-rounded - if you are world-class at something technical, we want to work with you. We anticipate most fellows will be high school or college-aged, but have no strict limits.

Apply here by July 22nd.
