## Week 0 - Updates

After Spending time in the study group and looking into epf.wifi, I went through the proposed projects, I am particularly interested in Beam chain related topics:

### zkVM

I am more inclined to work on Ream Labs proposal for benchmarking various zkVMs performance on Ream's CL client as it will help me to dig deeper into Beacon chain consensys implementation and zkVMs with good exposure to zk Snarks.

### P2P stack

Another area of interest for me is P2P stack related implementations as i already have some exposure in this. I can start looking into [Ream Client: P2P testing](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-six/blob/master/projects/project-ideas.md#ream-client---a-beam-client-in-rust-build-out-p2p-testing). I will contribute to P2P stack implementation as well if i take this testing task.

## To-Do for Week1

For week 1 my focus will be to read more about zkVM and dig deeper into Ream client's code to have a better understanding so that i can take decision whether to go for P2P task or zkVm benchmarking.

I will also work on my presentation for EthCc.
