Web3 grants & Fellowship Programs You Shouldn’t Miss (March 2026) If you're trying to break into Web3, grants and fellowships are one of the fastest paths. You get: • mentorship from protocol teams • real on-chain projects • ecosystem exposure • sometimes grants or stipends Here are some programs worth exploring 👇 1.) Ethereum Foundation – Ecosystem Support & Fellowship Programs (@ethereum) Focus: research, protocol development, ecosystem tooling Many fellows end up contributing directly to Ethereum projects. 👉 https://t.co/17HW0BiTEq 2.) Devconnect Scholars Program (@EFDevconnect) For builders contributing to the Ethereum ecosystem. Great exposure to core developers and researchers. 👉 https://t.co/XCEcz6WoQj 3.) Solana Foundation Fellowship (@SolanaFndn) For developers building tools, apps, and infrastructure on Solana. Often includes mentorship from ecosystem teams. 👉 https://t.co/hQRLU3E2uS 4.) Polygon Fellowship & Developer Programs (@0xPolygon) Focus on: • zk infrastructure • DeFi appl

One important technical item that I forgot to mention is the proposed switch from Casper FFG to Minimmit as the finality gadget. To summarize, Casper FFG provides two-round finality: it requires each attester to sign once to "justify" the block, and then again to "finalize" it. Minimmit only requires one round. In exchange, Minimmit's fault tolerance (in our parametrization) drops to 17%, compared to Casper FFG's 33%. Within Ethereum consensus discussions, I have always been the security assumptions hawk: I've insisted on getting to the theoretical bound of 49% fault tolerance under synchrony, kept pushing for 51% attack recovery gadgets, came up with DAS to make data availability checks dishonest-majority-resistant, etc. But I am fine with Minimmit's properties, in fact even enthusiastic in some respects. In this post, I will explain why. Let's lay out the exact security properties of both 3SF (not the current beacon chain, which is needlessly weak in many ways, but the ideal 3SF) and Minimmit. "Synchron

Why BlackRock CEO Larry Fink calls Ethereum “the toll road to tokenization” “In Davos, my old boss Larry Fink had a great slide when he was talking about the future of finance that said, ‘Ethereum is the toll road to tokenization.’” BlackRock’s former Head of Crypto Joseph Chalom explains: “There’s a recognition from the largest, most sophisticated institutions in the world that Ethereum is going to be the global financial ledger because it has the trust, liquidity and security.” Asked if there’s a role for more centralized L1 blockchains, Joseph replies: “I do think there will be roles for other L1s — I think they’ll be specialized. Solana does an amazing job on meme coins, altcoins, and gaming, and there may be use cases. But if you look where the largest financial institutions in the world are building their money market funds, trading applications — Robinhood, Coinbase — it’s on Ethereum. I’m not here to FUD others. I think the Solana Foundation did a great job over the past several years when there ”
