# Ethereum Protocol Fellowship - cohort-3

## Update-0

Hello everyone :wave:
I am Dhruv, I intend to participate in EPF in a permission-less manner.
I am currently working as a Protocol Dev at [Obol Network](https://obol.tech).

Github: https://github.com/dB2510

### Interested Projects/Areas:

- Data Availability Sampling
- Consensus clients

I intend to work on Beacon API compliant validator client through the course of EPF and beyond. This project was suggested by [potuz](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-three/blob/master/projects/project-ideas.md#by-potuz) from prysm team.

### Updates of week 1:

- Read about danksharding and data availability sampling.
- Chose project to work on for EPF.
- Connected with prysm team and other interested fellows to work on same project.
- Started going to through prysm codebase to explore right direction to approach the problem.
