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.
