Hey everyone :wave:, I am 0xrachit and here’s the Week 0 of my development updates for the ethereum protocol fellowship cohort 4 !

**Summary**

During this week, my main focus was on learning about different research projects happening in the Ethereum ecosystem. I had conversations with some other people who are also part of the same group to see if we could work together on interesting topics. Since it was the first week, I spent a lot of time getting familiar with the research being done in areas that I find interesting, as well as in other areas. Among the resources I looked at, these were some that I found really helpful.
