title: Nilufer's Notes - Week 1

## Week 1 Update

Hi there! I'm Nilu, taking part as a permissionless participant in the fourth cohort of the EPF. I am eager to develop my skills and deepen my understanding to make a meaningful contribution to the Infinite Garden. Let's dive into the world of Ethereum! 👩🏻‍💻🌳✨


During the initial week, I delved into the suggested readings to strengthen my foundational knowledge of Ethereum. This extensive research included understanding Ethereum's core concepts, functionality and architectural design. I found the use of illustrations and videos very useful to reinforce my understanding of these complex topics.

- [x] [EPF Suggested Readings](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-four/blob/master/program-guide/reading.md)

I really liked these resources in particular:

- Inevitable Ethereum 
- Ethereum Yellow Paper Course
- Ethereum EVM Illustrated

The suggested readings covered a lot of ground and explained things in great detail. They really helped me understand better. They will also be a handy reference whenever I face challenges in my research. 

## Project Proposal

I haven't decided on the project yet! I'm interested in contributing to the field of ==cryptoeconomics== or the ==rollup economics== framework. Either way, I'm excited to contribute and learn more.
