Solana Scholars Program Aims to Bolster Blockchain Research

The Solana Foundation has launched the Solana Scholars program to provide PhD students with funded internships in blockchain research.

The program, which was announced on September 30, aims to foster decentralization, strengthen ecosystem security, and drive adoption of the Solana blockchain.

PhD students will work directly with engineers to tackle blockchain research problems as part of the internship. The research summary suggests that this collaboration could lead to improvements in scalability, security, and censorship resistance on the Solana network.
