Hey there, I am Manav Darji and these are my updates for week 16 (20/10 - 05/11). The goal of this week was to explore possibility of simulating CL in geth to test the end to end inclusion list flow.

Updates

• Geth PoC
  • CL Simulation
    • As inclusion list is planned to go with ePBS, it also requires lot of changes and implementation on the CL front. Lot of progress on that front is yet to be done and hence as a result, EL changes need to wait to be fully tested.
    • But, as testing with abstrating out different components is a good practice and is heavily followed in ethereum clients, my plan is to explore if I can simulate the Cl <-> EL interactions by mocking calls to EL engine API (or call the functions directly in a test).
    • The goal is to explore the possibility of the same and try different approaches as well.
    • I am not sure if this will be completed fully but I believe it will be super helpful to test the EL changes independently of the CL changes.
