EPF Report: Weeks 12 & 13 - Implementing State Transition and Onboarding new developers

Executive Summary

  • Implementation of state transition functions.
  • Onboarding and integration of new contributors.

Progress on State Transition Implementation

After putting work towards understanding and mapping Ethereum's consensus layer's State Transition function, we have transitioned to the implementation phase. This crucial component involves dozens of functions.

During these weeks I have been focusing on the implementation of the following functions:

  • process_execution_payload()
  • process_block_header()
  • process_historical_summaries_update()

Our progress is being validated through thousands of tests provided by the Ethereum Foundation. These tests serve as a robust benchmark, ensuring our implementation is correct.

Onboarding New Developers

The past weeks have seen significant growth in our team with the addition of new developers. Their integration into the Lambdaclass Ethereum Consensus Client project has been both a fulfilling and educational experience.

Key contributions in this phase include:

  • Issue opening and Pull Request reviews.
  • Engaging in peer programming to support fellow developers.
  • Delegating the implementation of certain State Transition functions to newly onboarded team members.

Building a consensus node in elixir

The Ethereum ecosystem thrives on diversity, both on the technical and human levels, but most consensus and execution clients are coded by european or north american companies or teams. Our goal is to form a team of people working on L1 protocol features with a strong basis in Latin America.

EPF Report: Week 16 & 17 - ZuConnect, DevConnect and EPF day

Abstract This report encapsulates the enriching experiences and key learnings from ZuConnect, DevConnect, and the preparations leading to EPF Day. It highlights the importance of networking, the exchange of ideas in blockchain technology, and the personal growth encountered throughout these events. ZuConnect: An Incredible Learning Journey ZuConnect has been a remarkable journey, filled with intense presentations, networking, and learning. It provided an opportunity to delve into a plethora of topics including AI, Network States, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Cryptography, Blockchain, and Distributed Systems. Keynote speakers, such as Vitalik Buterin, Thor Kamphefner or Juan Benet, offered invaluable insights. This event was not only about gaining knowledge but also about building lasting friendships and professional connections. The experience was nothing short of inspirational, looking forward for future editions of Zuzalu. DevConnect: A Hub of Blockchain Enthusiasm In November, Istanbul transformed into a hub for blockchain enthusiasts. Multiple events created a vibrant ecosystem of learning and exchange. Among these, L2Days, ZK-Accelerate and ProgCrypto, stood out with their engaging content and expert panels. Reconnecting with old friends and meeting new experts, researchers, and engineers added a personal touch to the professional enrichment. The intensity of the 10-day event was balanced by the excitement of new knowledge and opportunities, setting the stage for future Ethereum events.
