**EPF Cohort 6 - Week 2 Update**
---

**Week 2 Progress**

This week, I focused on trying to get integration tests up for the validator. Since not all the beacon node apis for ream have been implemented, I would likely need to test out the integration tests using another beacon client, such as lodestar or nimbus. The current plan is to still use assertoor, but also use kurtosis as well for our integration tests. On top of this, I had also done some research and found [a repo](https://github.com/ethpandaops/assertoor-test/tree/master/assertoor-tests) containing potential assertoor tests that could be used.

**Tasks for Week 3**

The main goal for Week 3 would be to continue setting up the integration tests. I’m aiming to get test coverage in place for key validator actions, such as sync committee participation, attestation production, and block proposals. Once those are working reliably, I’d like to begin exploring the logic required for handling chain re-organizations, if time permits.
