Hey there, I am Chirag Mehta and these are my updates for week 2 (24/07 - 30/07). The primary goal for this week was to read more about the project(s) I am interested to work on and gather as much context as possible, mainly after previous week's overview it was clear to me that Consensus Client/Research is the project I'm about to be doing in the fellowship. So, this week was more about learning and understanding about Consensus client and the projects around the same. **Consensus Client:** Went through different blogs and videos out their to understand more about the consensus part. * [How to use Executable Consensus Pyspec by Hsiao-Wei Wang | Devcon Bogotá](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDUfYJkTeYw&t=301s&ab_channel=EthereumFoundation) **PBS:** * https://ethresear.ch/t/two-slot-proposer-builder-separation/10980 * https://ethresear.ch/t/payload-timeliness-committee-ptc-an-epbs-design/16054 * [Notes on Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS)](https://barnabe.substack.com/p/pbs) * [Proposer-builder separation](https://ethereum.org/en/roadmap/pbs/) * [Why enshrine Proposer-Builder Separation? A viable path to ePBS]( https://ethresear.ch/t/why-enshrine-proposer-builder-separation-a-viable-path-to-epbs/15710) Also I have been exploring, the project ideas proposed by the Prysm team for this fellowship: * ePBS Design and Prototyping * Separate Blobs from Payload **Next Steps:** * We have a scheduled call with the Prysm team in the upcoming week to engage in initial brainstorming and discussions regarding our next steps. Anticipating this call with enthusiasm.
