## Updates

During this week , I did the following things:

1. I talked to Brechy about his cohort-3 project, [helios-cl-p2p](https://github.com/a16z/helios/tree/refcell/p2p).Tried to understand what its status is , what did he implement and what is more to do on this idea. I have contacted the Helios team to get more details on that.
2. Read the [2D data availability with kate commitments](https://ethresear.ch/t/2d-data-availability-with-kate-commitments/8081) to understand some math.
3. Rewatched the 2nd part of 2D DA and data reconstruction [Danksharding Workshop | Devcon Bogotá](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L2C6RDMV9Q)
4. Tring to understand [Fast amortized Kate proofs](https://github.com/khovratovich/Kate/blob/master/Kate_amortized.pdf) (not completed yet).
5. Contacted the nimbus team regarding constantine and waiting for their resources to understand more on what things need to be implemented.

## week 3 roadmap

* Learn more cryptography used in peerDAS and understand required consensus spec functions.
* Dive deeper in p2p networking like subnets,discv5,req/resp etc.
* Research on other topics like light client slashing, portal network, verkle trees etc.
