--- title: Weeks Eight and Nine EPF6 tags: [EPF] --- # My First PR The whole two weeks, as planned in the proposal, were spent working on the first task—which is about restarting the network automatically. During the PR process, I realized there is no issue for restarting ephemerally automatically. A DB reset feature is different from an Ephemery network restart feature since even without Ephemery requiring a DB reset, the problem still persists with the network not being restarted and regenerating new genesis parameters, such as `timestamp` and new `chainId`. So, I've created a new issue and finally sent my first PR resolving it. Hope it gets merged soon 🤞🏻. Based on my research on the task and code base of Besu, I think the PR is the simplest way to approach the restart Ephemery network feature. Adding more features for Ephemry development would need to be invoked inside the restart scope of the PR code snippet. Therefore, the PR is crucial for almost every further Ephemery-Besu implementation.
