# Week 0: Exploring DAS ## Introduction Hi :wave: I'm hopinheimer and I am participating in Ethereum Protocol Fellowship's fifth cohort I've been following along the EPFsg and during the course my interest piqued upon PeerDAS. so, here are updates on my research directed towards it. I will be exploring DAS and it's implementation opportunities. #### update so far... - week 0 mostly involved gathering context and articles on peerDAS - expressed my intend to the codex team and prysm team. - [introduction to peerDAS](https://ethresear.ch/t/peerdas-a-simpler-das-approach-using-battle-tested-p2p-components/16541) - [the peer DHT](https://notes.ethereum.org/cG-j3r7kRD6ChQyxjUdKkw) #### plan for week 1 I will be going through these resources to have a deeper understanding toward DAS and seek mentorship to expedite my process - [SubnetDAS](https://ethresear.ch/t/subnetdas-an-intermediate-das-approach/17169) - [DAS fork-choice](https://ethresear.ch/t/das-fork-choice/19578) - [FullDAS](https://ethresear.ch/t/fulldas-towards-massive-scalability-with-32mb-blocks-and-beyond/19529) - [Scalability limitations of Kademlia DHTs when Enabling Data Availability Sampling in Ethereum](https://ethresear.ch/t/scalability-limitations-of-kademlia-dhts-when-enabling-data-availability-sampling-in-ethereum/18732) - [Data Availability Sampling](https://blog.codex.storage/data-availability-sampling/) Until next time... :rocket:
