# Week 6 & 7 EPF Update

## Reth Implementation Work

I’ve been making great progress as I wrap up other projects and can now focus on this one completely.

Over the last two weeks, I implemented IL validation into the `EthExecutionStrategy` and `engine_updatePayloadWithInclusionListV1`. The validation logic took longer than expected due to issues I had grasping the current implementation, but I now have it properly validating blocks based on ILs. The `engine_updatePayloadWithInclusionListV1` implementation went much more smoothly, with no major blockers.

I have one more commit I’m working on to finish catching up my work to Jacob's. Once that’s done, it will be time to start testing the implementation and ironing out bugs.

## Next Steps

- Fix issues with transaction length enforcement
- Get a basic Kurtosis environment up and running
