+- `gsub-scaling:vac:gossipsub-simulation`
+  - Looked in to previous [staggered message sending approach](https://github.com/vacp2p/nim-libp2p/commit/9b11fa733220910359a38876f8afb9d7ff029641). Require manualy resetting nim/nimble to match the branch dates. The performance evaluation results are available [here](https://www.notion.so/Performance-Evaluation-of-Old-Staggered-Sending-Approach-b458ebafbd744182846c3ad0f7ea3d08)  
+  - As no gains are seen, looking for other possible improvements (delayed elimination of peers from queues on receiving idontwants), adapting stagger delays to peer speeds/scores. still a WIP
+- `vac:admin`
+    - Work on blog drafts for Verkle Trees, KZG, and BloomFilters.
+- `zk:codex:zk-consulting`

+    - Read Tor Push and Dandelion++ solutions
+        - Still can't figure out the actual advantage of using onion encryption.
+        - In the pub-sub model, adding delays and/or relaying through an anonymity/mix overlay network should offer the desired level of protection.
+        - However, such an overlay network will be similar to Dandellion++ only.
+        - Still trying to figure out how to overcome the shortcomings in Dandellion++.
