title: Nilufer's Notes - Week 3

## Week 3 Update

After consulting with my mentor Barnabe, I decided on my project idea, which revolves around the economic modeling of various prover incentive structures in zkRollups. My ultimate goal is to design a Layer 2 simulation that effectively tests prover behavior and network performance. By doing so, I aim to tackle the challenge of creating robust incentive structures in this space.

I prepared a comprehensive [project proposal](https://hackmd.io/@nilu/project) outlining the main objectives and methodologies for the research. I also prepared [questions for the literature review](https://hackmd.io/@nilu/literature) and did research on the topcis of cryptoeconomics and rollup economics.
