# Dev Update 2 (13/11/22):

## What I Did:
The past weeks I was been assigned a pull request for consensus message signature verification for [mev-rs](https://github.com/ralexstokes/mev-rs/issues/45). So far I have not made noticeable progress and have spending most of my time sifting over and understanding the consensus-spec. I find this as a great reminder that discussing/reading about ethereum is one thing, building it out is in a league of its own. With that in mind I do feel I have a better understanding of the consensus spec and am planning to focus on building out mev-rs for my EPF project. I am also trying to hold myself accountable to read 3 articles on mev/PBS a week focusing of eth.research post.
