-Ethereum pioneered the concept of a blockchain network capable of smart contract execution ushering in an ongoing era of monetary and organizational experimentation. Yet, it is vulnerable to various centralizing forces. Furthermore, while its rollup-centric approach to scaling has the potential for decentralization, most rollups today rely on centralized sequencers and inter-rollup communication presents its own complications. Inspirational to Nomos in many ways, these shortcomings make Ethereum ill-suited for our vision of a network of network states.

-App-chain ecosystems—like Cosmos and Polkadot—offer an alternative architecture but introduce their own challenges. For example, bootstrapping sufficient participants to ensure the economic security of multiple independent chains and addressing the asynchronous nature of cross-chain protocols. While Polkadot's shared security model offers something of a solution, the network fails to enable easy, permissionless participation and its parachains cannot be considered fully sovereign.

-### Network-level privacy, network-level sovereignty
+## Network-level privacy, network-level sovereignty
 
 Bitcoin and Ethereum emerged from the cypherpunk tradition. As Eric Hughes wrote in his seminal 1993 essay, "A Cypherpunk's Manifesto":
 
 > "Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age."
 
-Yet, neither network protects the right to privacy by default. Without network-level privacy, these supposedly disruptive technologies are, in fact, the perfect tool for surveillance because every on-chain interaction is recorded publicly forever.
+Yet, neither network protects the right to privacy by default. Without network-level privacy, these supposedly disruptive technologies are, in fact, the perfect tool for surveillance because every on-chain interaction is recorded publicly forever. 
 
 We believe that such absolute transparency massively limits the scope of the technology's adoption and, therefore, its revolutionary potential. We cannot expect individuals to voluntarily exit the current system into one in which their every interaction with all financial and social institutions is forever available for the entire world to see. When we buy a coffee, for example, there is no absolutely no need for the seller to see our salary, other purchase history or political leanings.
 
-Furthermore, we believe consent to be a critical element of any governance system. We find the nation-state's claims of governance via implied consent to be extremely contrived and believe blockchain-based systems represent an improvement because every on-chain action is voluntary and requires an individual to digitally sign, therefore, providing explicit consent.
+### Consent of the governed
 
-While this is certainly a step in the right direction, it does not go far enough. If an individual no longer aligns with the on-chain institutions of which they were once apart, today's blockchains offer a means of exiting the system to recreate something new. However, the cost to do so successfully can be prohibitively expensive.

-There have been numerous occasions in history where an on-chain community has been divided on some issue, resulting in a hard fork that creates two independent chains. In such situations, both networks suffer in terms of their overall security, making them more vulnerable to external attacks.
-Nomos leverages a novel architecture to avoid this situation. We believe that a simple disagreement over a community's path forward should not threaten the existence of either party. The Nomos network enables the creation of numerous semi-autonomous execution zones that share the main network's security while retaining the freedom to create their own rulesets and, eventually, become fully independent if they so choose.

 At this early stage of Nomos' development, the team is primarily focused on implementing the network's consensus protocol, Carnot. As the consensus protocol is so foundational to the rest of the project, it must precede other development areas. Alongside Carnot, Nomos' contributors are working on defining the network architecture, which will also influence future roadmap items.
 
-After defining the network architecture and implementing the consensus protocol, we can establish further milestones both above and below the consensus protocol. Above the consensus layer will be the network's data model and execution environments, which will enable advanced functionality. Below will be P2P networking and peer discovery, which must be built or integrated while maintaining privacy and performance.
