title: Week 5 (14/8-20/8)

---

My literature review surrouding the Ethereum architecture ended during this week as I got a good understanding about the Beacon chain, LMD-GHOST consensus and how various attacks vectors framed lead to its current form.

**Update:**
* Good Understanding of intracacies of Ethereum atchitecture, ex-ante reorgs, proposer boosting, block-slot voting and subslots within the blocks. Learned about the fork choice stuff as well just to be more informed about the space.
* Had another session with the Prysm team and discussed in detail about the holes in fork choice and P2P specs.
