title: EPF Cohort 4 - Week 8 Updates
---

Hey there, I am Manav Darji and these are my updates for week 8 (04/09 - 10/09). The goal of this week was to continue on spec review and PoC implementation in geth. Also, have a technical discussion about approaches to include txs in IL.

Updates

- For the inclusion list approach, proposer needs to send a list of transactions which it wants to get included in the next block (by the in-protocol builder). It's upto the EL implementations on how to allow choosing such transactions. There are multiple ways to do so.
- Prefer local txs.
- Prefer txs which are eligible and are lying in txpool for the longest time.
- Prefer txs which have been reorged more than twice (or any fixed number as of now).
- Potuz and Terrence made few changes to CL specs, reviewed them.

Next steps
- Continue iterating on my geth PR for IL support.
