ZK Fellowship Program

Quick facts about our ZK fellowships:

The time commitment is >=20 hours per week.

There is a requirement to stake some ETH to ensure engagement and participation from all fellows.

Highlights:

The fellowship is ~1-3 months, but the precise duration depends on the codebase. It includes theory sessions, code overview sessions, retreat sessions with leading experts in the field, office hours with devs and/or our residents, and ad-hoc sessions self-organized by groups of fellows. There are also quizzes, puzzles, and bounties throughout. Fellows and residents often build new tooling or improve upon existing ones.

The fellowship leads up to an audit security review report (eg [1] [2] [3]) contributed to collaboratively by everyone involved: fellows, residents, and mentors.

Pre-requisites:

• No prior ZK knowledge is required, but proof of work else where is.

• Before applying, please make sure you have read and understood the general structure and guidelines of our programs.
• You can review our previous fellowships: zBlock1 and zBlock2 to:
  • Get a sense of what the fellowship is like and
  • Level up your understanding of ZK tailored to give aspiring auditors the minimum viable theory to get to the code.
