Hey there, I am Chirag Mehta and these are my updates for week 4 (07/08 - 14/08).
This week was more about understanding the design specs proposed by the Mentors followed by reading about ePBS and PTC - an ePBS design.
Updates:
- Continued reading eth2Book
- Read the draft design specs proposed by Potuz and Terence.
- Had an call with Potuz, Terence and other EPF fellows to discuss more about the PTC design.
- Was analyzing the different ideas from the references about fee market designs, empty blocks and PT votes.
- Sub-topics to look on: p2p specs, validator specs and builder onboarding.

Next Steps:
- The Prysm team's recommended approach moving forward is to focus on a specific component within the sub-topics. This strategy aids in establishing achievable expectations and facilitating the planning process.
