# EPF5: Week 9

In this week, I finished Phase 1 of my project! Not much to tell about the last week though. As written [last week](/t0nyMNrRSPuV6UzzvEPhQA), I went ahead and rewrote the config generation. It was more effort than anticipated, but I think I now have a pretty flexible system to specify simulations. There is only a bit of cleanup and documentation left to do, but I think I will wait with that until I have used it myself a bit - maybe I find some room for further improvements.

## Next week

Now that Phase 1 is done, onwards to [Phase 2](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-five/blob/main/projects/network-simulations-with-shadow.md#phase-2-experiments)! I will start with drafting up experiments for PeerDAS in Lighthouse, and as soon as they are shown to be viable and deliver reasonable data on a small scale, I want to run first large scale simulations. That is my goal for the upcoming week - but, as always, unexpected issues might cause me to take longer. Hopefully I can show you some nice graphs next week!
