Update

These last two weeks I worked on:

• migrating the libp2p library interface from NIFs to Ports #269 #291 #310 #320 #324
• fixed errors when compiling Go code #318 #326
• refactor SSZ primitives to make them fetch configuration from environment #285
• cleaning up the spec-tests code #284 #296 #322
• adding information about the CI to the readme #293
• receiving attestation aggregates #286
• changing the version used for the configuration files #328
• some general maintenance #252 #321 #325

Once #324 is merged, we'll be done with the libp2p refactor. With that, we should be able to focus on allowing received gossip validation.

On another note, activity in the repo is skyrocketing

. We had a lot of PRs made by external contributors, mostly focusing on epoch processing and shuffling. Once state-transition functions are done, we can integrate it to the general workflow and start processing blocks.

Next steps

This week I'll start working on the validation of gossip messages. After that is done, I'll help the rest of the team with the integration of block processing with networking and fork-choice.
