**24-30 July 2023**

Throughout this week I went on diving deeper into the current state of MEV/PBS related research, discussions, directions, as well as continued with the [EPF Suggested Readings](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-four/blob/master/program-guide/reading.md).

Contacted Thomas Thiery from RIG about ROP5 (Ethereum Supply Network Health Framework) related activities and status, and he made a couple of suggestions for recent materials to catch up with the actual topics.

I've been also reviewing:

- RIG homepage recent posts
- EthCC MEV, PBS, economics related talks, especially Barnabé, Thomas, Caspar, and modular summit talks
- posts on ethresearch:
