# Update 6

## week 6 updates
* After talks with the reth team, I have picked up reth-verkle poc as my project.
* This week involved a deep dive into witness architecture in stateless-client using verkle, [Anatomy of a verkle proof](https://ihagopian.com/posts/anatomy-of-a-verkle-proof) is a great article to understand this concept and the changes that will be needed from EL client's side to implement it.
* This week a new EIP was dropped by Ignacio from ethereum-stateless team: [EIP-7748: State conversion to Verkle Tree](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8752), this describes a state conversion procedure to migrate key-values from the Merkle Patricia Tree to the Verkle Tree, spent some time reading it.
* Also a part of this week was devoted to prepare my final project proposal on reth-verkle poc, which is not uploaded and can also be find here: [EPF-project proposal-reth verkle poc](https://hackmd.io/@adigupta/HJ2_dt7F0).

## week 7 roadmap

* look into ethereumJS implementation of verkle-trie and EL changes
* look into geth implementation of verkle-trie and EL changes
