**July 13 - July 19 2023**

Since joining the EPF4 kick off meeting on July 13 I've been further exploring my project options, with the goal of improving my understanding of Ethereum at a lower level.

🏗️ Initial discussion with Mario was useful to figure out where my skillset could align. I have been researching the following potential project areas:

* [Ephemery testnet](https://github.com/ephemery-testnet/ephemery-resources) 
* Lodestar [typescript library](https://chainsafe.github.io/lodestar/libraries/)
    * [Contributing guidance](https://chainsafe.github.io/lodestar/contributing/) 
    * [Open issues](https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+no%3Aassignee)
    * Joined ChainSafe Discord
* Browser tooling, such as https://enr-viewer.com/
* [Lighthouse](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse) frontend requirements
    * [Contributing guidance](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/contributing.html) 
    * [Open issues](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/contributing.html)
    * Joined Lighthouse Discord
* Frontend management for nodes

🥐 This week I also attended EthCC from July 16 onwards.
