🗓️ Week 7

This week, I poured 42 hours into researching, coding, and documenting 1 project, fueled by 12 cups of coffee. I participated in 1 calls to discuss goals, progress, and challenges.

So far I have only analysed the geth execution client for the gas benchmarks.

Most of this week was spent setting up the other 4 clients locally especially using docker: Erigon, Nethermind, Besu, and Reth.

Rest of the week was spent working on the gas benchmarking tool. I also fixed a small config issue with the tool.

Here are the results for MSTORE operations on my laptop:
