### Summary During this week, I delved into Week 3 on [EPFWiki](https://epf.wiki/#/eps/week3) as I have done in previous weeks. I also studied what PeerDAS is and how it works, what Data Availability is and why it is crucial for scaling Ethereum, and what MEV and Front Running are, along with why they are problematic. Finally, I installed Go, cloned the Go-Ethereum (GO-ETH) repository, and watched some videos to start getting familiar with how it works. ### External Activities I participated in the [Onchain Summer Buildathon](https://www.base.org/onchainsummer). I also studied ZK-Snarks and ZK-Starks for the ETHCC hackathon and how they can improve ETH scalability through methods such as Validity-rollups or Plasmas. ### Previous Week's Pending Tasks - [x] Study what the Verkle tree is - [ ] Study what ePBS is - [ ] Study what Stateless Clients are and how they work - [x] Study what MEV is - [ ] Study what EOF is - [x] Study what PeerDAS is ### Future Focus Considering I have only 3 weeks of learning about Ethereum in-depth, I will focus on minor tasks or testing for this cohort to build my capability to work on current implementations in the next cohort. I hope to be accepted as a sponsored Ethereum Fellow in the next cohort so I can focus 100% on this.
