Development Sheet | Ethereum India Scholarship 2.0
Devfolio’s Ethereum India Fellowship 2.0 was split into two stages. One was designed for Web2 developers with limited or no blockchain experience, while the other was for more experienced Web3 developers. 20 fellows were selected for the former, with 8 weeks of mentorship and training. Their topics ranged from exploring different uses for Ethereum like DeFi, NFTs and DAOs, to choosing a project based on their preferences. The latter involved 8 weeks of project-based development, with industry veterans mentoring them.
The EtherPunk Online Hackathon was held during the first part of the program, providing an opportunity for fellows and top developers to share their projects and offer feedback. By the end, participants had achieved great success, winning hackathon prizes or internships, and many have gone on to make their mark in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Web3 Labs | web3j
web3j is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Android integration library for Ethereum. It was created to make it easier for Java developers to work on the blockchain. Since its inception in 2016, web3j has been maintained by founder Conor Svensson and supported by a grant from the Ethereum Foundation in 2017. Their current work includes improving the user experience, creating an open API for clients, conducting a user survey and regular maintenance.
