# EPF Cohort 6 Updates – Week 8

As I had previously mentioned about the pivot in my EPF project has taken a shift to align with current developments around Lean Consensus.

I had finished reading up the paper on [Three Slot Finality](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.00558). And to strengthne my grasp on time synchrony and Three Slot Finality further (particularly Faster Finality) I worked on a basic implementation of Logical Clocks and Three Slot Finality.
For understanding Logical Clocks and how time works in distributed system I implemented Leslie Lamport's Research paper on Time, Clocks and Ordering of Events. And for understanding 3SF, I directly implemented 3SF Research Paper. I had not implemented TOB-SVD and instead focused on RLMD Ghost since thats the current focus of PQ Devnet and Lean Consensus
Both my implementations can be found [here](https://github.com/x-senpai-x/logical-Clock) and [here](https://github.com/x-senpai-x/threeSF).

I now feel that I have a complete grasp on three slot finality and therefore from next week forward I'll be fully diving into Ream's Implementation for 3SF and by the end of week I'll have setup a codebase for the same.

I couldn't do much around wrapping up my work on Beacon state benchmarks, but I am hopeful to do some meaningful work the following week on this.

## Next Week's Goals

- [ ] Setup an initial codebase for benchmarking 3sf mini with Risc Zero
- [ ] Complete the work on Pico zkvm for Beacon State benchmarks
