1. I read about History-Expiry in EL clients and how it can reduce storage requirements and RAM usage along with statelessness and dived into [trin-repository](https://github.com/ethereum/trin)
1. I also read [Kademlia paper](https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~petar/papers/maymounkov-kademlia-lncs.pdf) and deep dived into [this](https://notes.ethereum.org/hfbmSM_9RYas6t013xjq6Q) project proposed by dankrad from EF research team.
