Celestia Labs is excited to announce Modular Fellows, a new program that supports and mentors modular builders.
Modular blockchains are a paradigm shift in the architecture and capability of blockchain technology. As exciting as this new paradigm is, the modular stack will not build itself. The mission of Modular Fellows is to empower modular builders with the right resources to build the future of scalable and sovereign blockchain networks.
- Modular Fellows will be given engineering support and a stipend over three months to build a project of their choice.
- Potential project ideas include new execution layers, rollup infrastructure and modular versions of popular DeFi apps, NFT platforms and naming services.
- Ideal candidates are engineers with a deep understanding of modular chains and a track record of building.
- There are only 10 spaces in the first cohort.
Course Overview
Over the course of the three month program, Modular Fellows will receive engineering support, mentorship, and a monthly stipend of $3,000 to build a project of their choice. Each month, the Fellows will complete a project milestone, culminating in a demo-day presentation. After the program, continuing support will be available for Fellows in the form of fundraising help and grants.
This is an opportunity to get in at the ground floor of this emerging ecosystem by building new execution layers, rollup infrastructure services and modular interoperability solutions, as well as rebuilding modular versions of popular DeFi apps, NFT platforms and naming services.
