Update 7

week 7 updates

• this week I mostly focused of reading ethereumJS codebase and it's implementation of stateless-client:
  • ethereumJS uses the rust-verkle cryptography compiled into wasm in this repository:
    https://github.com/ethereumjs/verkle-cryptography-wasm
  • which is then imported in the ethereumjs monorepo as javascript. The two main sections of code where the verkle cryptography is used are:
    • the verkle package: https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/tree/master/packages/verkle
    • the verkle file in the util package: https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/blob/master/packages/util/src/verkle.ts
  • VerkleStatelessStateManager provides an overview of how this components are used:
    https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/blob/master/packages/statemanager/src/statelessVerkleStateManager.ts

week 8 roadmap

• look into geth implementation of verkle-trie and EL changes
• prepare a design doc for reth's implementation
