## EPF Week 3

## Project to take on

**Auditing Beacon APIs in Prysm**

While still going through Prysm resources and the former research made by a previous cohort participant on the topic. I've made attempt to contact the mentor in charge of this task Radosław Kapka on discord, and waiting for his response so that I can setup a meeting with him this coming week to learn more about the task and also understand the expectations.

## Previous work/research

From the last cohort [@PatriceVignola](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-three/commits?author=PatriceVignola), previously made some progress with this task.
