Updates:

  • Read about the multiple IL approaches and the associated free DA problem.
  • Vitalik's proposal of new IL that addresses the free DA probelm, I had some trouble understanding the approach but thanks to Manav for helping me understand it.
  • Started going through the consensus specs again as Potuz had made substantial changes on it during the week's span
  • I had to do some catching up for the previous week so read through the Prysm EPF discord channel
  • Watched the previous week catchup video, thanks to terence for recording it. Weekly catchup for this week was cancelled as multiple people were busy with other commitments.

Next Steps:
I plan to continue reading the consensus and p2p specs proposed by Potuz and Terence. I am also planning to start reading EngineAPI specs by Lion and work on IL implementation as it is something that stays regardless of the ePBS success.
