Hey there, I am Manav Darji and these are my updates for week 6 (21/08 - 27/08). The goal of this week was to start doing some experimental changes for PoC implementation.

Updates

• The new inclusion list design (mentioned here) was finalised and the mentors started to update the consensus specs.
• Discussed few doubts and updated mechanism in the weekly catchup calls.
• Also, discussed about how to approach making changes for the PoC.
• Marius from geth team will be involved for helping or reviewing whenever required.
• As the CL side of things were still moving, I thought of starting to make changes in the EL side as it was much open ended comparatively and I had some idea of a few modules of geth.
• Created a draft PR on geth with some initial structure and abstractions. For now, setup the engine API methods in eth/catalyst and IL related functions in core/txpool modules. Functions are dummy for now as I wanted to figure out abstractions amongst modules first and then deal with the core logic. Will be iterating over this in the upcoming weeks.

Next steps

• Finish off few final changes in proposal and prepare to present it asap.
• Continue iterating on my geth PR for IL support.
