Hey there, I am Manav Darji and these are my updates for week 5 (14/08 - 20/08). The goal of this week was to start thinking more about the implementation details as the spec is bit solidified (by the mentors). Moreover, the implementation scope now also includes inclusion list design.

Updates

• On the weekly catch up call, Potuz pointed out a problem with free data availability in the existing inclusion list design and later in the week, Vitalik and Mike proposed a way to avoid that problem with a new design.
• The design is mentioned here. I spent good amount of time understanding this and also clearing a few doubts regarding the same with mentors.
• Later on, started with glacing over few modules which will be affected in the Prysm codebase. I started with the p2p gossip module where the communication and triggers of any action are mentioned which led me to going through some existing structures, validation and processing mechanism.

Next steps

• Now that the work to be done is much clear compared to few weeks ago, I will start writing my proposal.
• Will continue the code exploratory task to figure out implementation details.
