## EPF5 Dev Updates - Week 5

[◀️ *previous update*](https://hackmd.io/@hangleang/epf5-week4)

### Goals For This Week

- [ ] Rebase branch develop commits on das branch
- [x] Update PeerDAS implementation with recent specs changes

### Activities

- Setup [PeerDAS fork](https://github.com/hangleang/grandine/tree/feature/das) with changing `libp2p` submodule to [Rahul fork](https://github.com/guha-rahul/eth2_libp2p/tree/eip_7594) for further easier collab works
- Update PeerDAS implementation with recent specs changes, also did make a [draft PR](https://github.com/grandinetech/grandine/pull/34) to the origin repo
- Attempted to rebase `develop` branch on the fork, but there are a lot of conflicts and some missing pieces. So, I decided to wait for Rahul to finish his backport, then continue to update based on those changes
- Built docker image, and attempted to run kurtosis to test interop with other clients, but failed due to unable to startup the node
- Beside development, I also join [ACDC#137](https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/1096) consensus call to catch up with the latest developments

### Plan For Next Week

- Update PeerDAS based on Rahul backport changes
- Fix the error when starting up the node
- Run kurtosis to test interop

### Conclusion

This week, I spent much time on setting up to make sure smooth on-going development with other peers, especially with the submodules, we have to adapt with the new way of porting packages into the monorepo, which we have never work with these kind of setup before.
