# Update 9 ## week 9 updates * a proposal was developed to integrate verkle in reth: [reth-verkle PoC](https://hackmd.io/@adigupta/r1l259oFC) * started working on the first phase of implementation in reth * this involves implementation of two functions: `deserialize_and_verify` and `prove_and_serialize` functions * these will implement proper proving mechanisms in reth. * once we're able to properly verify witness content using verkle-proof, will start with next phase: execution of block using this witness as `stateDB` ## week 10 roadmap * complete understanding of banderwagon implementation in go-verkle and rust-verkle. * add few optimisations and test to rust-verkle repo, which I have in mind * complete proper understanding of nethermind implementation ## references * [Introducing Bandersnatch: a fast elliptic curve built over the BLS12-381 scalar field](https://ethresear.ch/t/introducing-bandersnatch-a-fast-elliptic-curve-built-over-the-bls12-381-scalar-field/9957) * [Understanding Banderwagon: High Level](https://hackmd.io/@6iQDuIePQjyYBqDChYw_jg/BJ2-L6Nzc) * [Understanding The Wagon - From Bandersnatch to Banderwago](https://hackmd.io/@6iQDuIePQjyYBqDChYw_jg/BJBNcv9fq)
