EPF-Week 5 updates

This document contains my updates for week five! I started working on my project to design an out-of-protocol implementation of PEPC-Boost!

I'll be dividing my updates into two sections from now on. The sections will be:

  1. Project Work: This will include updates on my project work
  2. PRs: This will include my updates on any open-source PRs I am working on

Project Work

I have made good progress on my project work. I have written a design doc highlighting the design of PEPC-Boost.
I have also linked PRs to

  1. Proposed beacon api spec changes
  2. Proposed builder spec changes
  3. Proposed relay spec changes

I drew PEPC-Boost architecture diagrams on excalidraw in the order of level of view, i.e. I tried to go deeper into the architecture with each diagram
Level 1

I cannot upload the Level 2 diagram due to issues with the image size.

Level 3

You can find the link to the excalidraw board here

You can find the link to the sequence diagram here

I will keep refining the design docs for readability, but I am at a stage where I am ready for directional and technical feedback on my work from my mentors. I plan to send this doc them next week for review.

PRs

I need to close this PR https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/12675. I couldn't get to it because I was busy designing my project!

Other updates

I have identified that this PR https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/353 needs some work. This PR standardizes the txpool execution APIs, which can be helpful for my project and will also be interesting to work on. I am planning to work on this in the next week.

Conclusion

My next steps are to get feedback from my mentors on my PEPC-Boost design doc. I will simultaneously start working on the low-level design of the builder TOB and ROB processor sections and the payload assembler while I get the design doc feedback from my mentors. I also want to spend some time working on the execution api PR
