Customer developers and researchers welcomed new contributors, some of which worked in the long run.
In addition, the second repetition of the protocol research group concluded after two months of intensive learning about the core protocol.

With each cohort, we will learn more about how to collect feedback and improve the experience of Fellows and Ethereum Devs. EPF5 has brought some notable changes and brought a very productive cohort.
Before EPF5, we organized the first Protocol Research Group It has been executed for 10 weeks leading to EPF5. For those 10 weeks, students participated in the curriculum designed to educate all areas of the protocol. Many colleagues have prepared EPFs with more knowledge and resources, so much softer boarding has been made.
Another major change in EPF5 is an extended period of four to five months, which has been provided with an additional month to improve the project and aim for a larger range.
Like the cohort in the past, we have hosted EPF Day in Devcon to finish the cohort. But in the case of EPF5, we organized additional EPF days near the beginning of Cohort during ETHCC in Brussels. The event gave colleagues a chance to meet each other, mentor and present a project to work through Cohort.
