Hey there, I am Chirag Mehta and these are my updates for week 7 (28/08 - 03/09).
This week was more about understanding different IL approaches,continuation of exploring Prysm codebase.

Updates:

* Understanding Prysm codebase and exploring the consensus changes as per the [new](https://ethresear.ch/t/no-free-lunch-a-new-inclusion-list-design/16389) design.
* Catching up with the previous discord messages from the Prysm to understand few specs and clearing of doubts.
* Referred the consensus spec again as substantial changes were made by Potuz.
* The weekly call with Prysm team was cancelled due to other commitments.
