Hey there, I am Chirag Mehta and these are my updates for week 1 (17/07 - 23/07).

The primary goal for this week was to read more about the Ethereum and break out things into different categories and deep-dive into them as per plan.

Though in my previous post I have clearly indicated that I'm very much interested in working towards Consensus layer and Verkle tree.

But I was also interested in learning about other open-ended problems around the same and wanted to explore stuff, so the week was more about figuring out stuff.
