In the recent Project Update and Planning Meeting for the Ream developer team, participants shared progress updates on key initiatives, including Kolby’s implementation of Deneb types for P2P stack interoperability and Hopinheimer's PR on P2P initialization. Varun is focusing on the fork choice rules, while Parthasarathy is awaiting a cryptography paper for P2P layer work. The team discussed ZK VM research, with Jun reviewing a runtime prototype and an emphasis on BLS signature implementation. Philipp and Unnawut committed to researching various ZK VMs, centering on SP1 for its developer-friendliness. As for next steps, the team will wait on the cryptography paper before setting future objectives and will continue weekly meetings for coordination, with Unnawut tasked to prepare a presentation on consensus layer specifications for the next gathering.
