# EPF Cohort 6 - Week 5 Update I spent majority of my time this week preparing our project proposal and project presentation. I will be posting the project proposal shortly. We presented on Wednesday during the office hours earlier this week and our presentation can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1nnDkp74VPYhdadV8LsrAvkd0Lf4u3DLwrIwW3DkeBU0/edit?slide=id.g2558abb5fb3_0_0#slide=id.g2558abb5fb3_0_0). Post Cannes, the focus of Ream has been to participate in the Post Quantum Testnet by October. After an in depth discussion with our mentor, Kolby, we have decided that after implementing a minimum viable validator client, our focus should be on the prototype validator for the PQ Testnet as that is Ream's top priority going forward which would be a step towards the Lean Consensus (formerly Ream) effort. This week I also addressed the reviews on my PRs from last week. ## Week 5 ### PR Feedback I was earlier creating a new ValidatorService everytime the voluntary exit cli command was called. This was inefficient as the validator service will eventually be a heavy struct with lots of empty structs inside it. I was doing this to access some of the methods required ("publish_voluntary_exit") within the ValidatorService struct. However, I have moved the function out of the validator service and we now use the beacon chain client directly to publish and track the status of voluntary exits. ### PQ Testnet Ream is participating in a Post Quantum Testnet as a part of the Lean Consensus (formerly Ream) effort. The plan is to spend majority of resources and time on working on getting this PQ Testnet Client up over the upcoming months. As the Testnet is planned to go live in October, upon discussion with our mentor we are planning to change our project to target a minimum viable beacon chain validator and then work on the PQ Prototype Validator. As more interop meetings take place, new updates will be coming in and I will be including relevant parts of them in my dev updates. ### Presentation ## Resources 1.
