# Week0

I walked through all 24 days of study group content on [epf.wiki](https://epf.wiki/) to prepare myself for EPF. Then I browsed through the [project ideas](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-six/blob/master/projects/project-ideas.md).

## Areas of research
Several [Ream Client](https://reamlabs.com) projects caught my eye.

* [Ream Client - A Beam client in Rust: Build Beacon Validator Client](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-six/blob/master/projects/project-ideas.md#ream-client---a-beam-client-in-rust-build-beacon-validator-client)
* [Ream Client - A Beam client in Rust: Build out P2P testing](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-six/blob/master/projects/project-ideas.md#ream-client---a-beam-client-in-rust-build-out-p2p-testing)
* [Ream Client - A Beam client in Rust: Implement Beacon API Endpoints](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-six/blob/master/projects/project-ideas.md#ream-client---a-beam-client-in-rust-implement-beacon-api-endpoints)
* [Ream Client - A Beam client in Rust: Benchmark zkVM performance on Ream's Beacon state transition functions](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-six/blob/master/projects/project-ideas.md#ream-client---a-beam-client-in-rust-benchmark-zkvm-performance-on-reams-beacon-state-transition-functions)

To help me choose from them, I started by learning about the [Beam Chain](https://beamroadmap.org). My plan for next week is to finish the [Key Resources] section and then begin exploring [Ream Client](https://github.com/ReamLabs/ream) repo. Through this research, I hope to better understand the scope and difficulty of each project.
