Development Updates

This document includes all development updates by contributors to EPF cohort 5. Learn more about creating your development updates.

Add your name alphabetically and link your updates to the corresponding tables below by opening a PR. Iterate the numbers of your updates and always place them into the current week. Editing a big raw markdown table can cause problems, use an editing environment supporting markdown table formatting or a formatter tool.

Phase 1: Discovery

Phase one is the very beginning of the cohort. The first few weeks are dedicated to general learning about the EPF program, the Ethereum protocol as a whole and its development. Use resources from EPF Study group to get started.
