    Cryptocurrency
 		Cryptocurrencies are digital units of a currency that can be transferred person-to-person without requiring a third-party (payment processor) to facilitate transactions. It enables near-free, near-instant currency transactions that cannot be held up, blocked, reversed, or delayed by any party.
 
+   Tor
+   		The Tor network is a free and open-source network that enables anonymous online communication. It protects your digital privacy by anonymizing your IP address. It does so by routing your connection through a vast and global network of volunteers. Tor's intended use is to protect your personal privacy as well as your freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication. When enabled on Particl, it makes your node's IP address entirely anonymous.
 
 Particl Terms

@@ -40,9 +42,12 @@ Particl Terms
 		The Particl Project refers to all combined efforts, people, and community contributing to the development, maintenance, promotion, and adoption of the Particl decentralized network. It is often simply referred to as "Particl" as well, depending on the context.
 
    Particl Network
-		A decentralized network is a distributed network that runs autonomously. The Particl Network is Particl's own decentralized network. 
+		The Particl Network consists of two technologies: 
+
+		1. The Particl Blockchain is a decentralized and immutable ledger, based on bitcoin technology but carefully enhanced by the Particl Developers with industry-leading privacy technology. The Particl Blockchain secures and testifies payments, the exchange of value in a decentralized way without the need for any banking system.
+
 
-		The Particl Network doesn't rely on central server or database and each participant contributes to its functioning and maintenance. Any communication, exchange of data, or trade is done directly between each Particl user and without any central authority facilitating the exchange. 
+		2. Secondly, a data-layer named Particl SecureMessaging (SMSG protocol) which is utilized as a decentralized storage network (DSN) to transfer data between nodes in a privacy-preserving manner. Particl SecureMessaging enables a privacy-proof environment for e-commerce with Particl Marketplace and communications between users without bloating the Blockchain and leaving permanent records.  
 
    Particl Blockchain
 		The Particl Blockchain is a decentralized, immutable, and censorship-proof ledger. It is based on bitcoin technology and has been carefully enhanced by the Particl team to provide a more robust level of privacy through industry-leading privacy technologies. The Particl Blockchain processes and validates payments between two users without requiring any third-party such as a bank or a payment processor.
@@ -59,19 +64,24 @@ Particl Terms
 		The Particl Marketplace is a decentralized marketplace that allows two users to buy and sell anything from each other without the assistance of any third-party (i.e. bank, payment processor, centralized marketplace, etc). It is Particl's flagship application and provides much more privacy, security, and freedom than typical marketplaces. Since it is decentralized, it charges no sales commission and other similar types of fees. 
 
    Particl's Open Market Protocol (OMP)
-		The OMP is the back-end protocol that makes the Particl Marketplace possible. It is the framework that defines how marketplace transactions, orders, listings, and other key e-commerce functionalities are to be processed by the SMSG network and the Particl Blockchain. It is the "glue" that sticks everything together. If Particl Desktop is what people use to access the marketplace (the front end), the OMP is what makes it possible in the background (the back-end). To learn more about the OMP Library, head over to the `Open Market Protocol Wiki page <https://particl.wiki/learn/marketplace/open-market-protocol/>`_.

    Particl Desktop
 		Particl Desktop is the main client of the Particl Project and is a user-friendly interface into the Particl network. It is the main point of access into the Particl ecosystem and lets users complete all basic activities one would expect to do on Particl. This includes making cryptocurrency transactions, using the Particl Marketplace, sending messages to other users, and so on. 
 
    Particl SDK
 		The Particl Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of tools and documentation that enables independent developers to contribute to the Particl Ecosystem (any of its software, product, or service). It's purpose is to speed up the onboarding process of independent developers and streamline all the tools and knowledge they need to acquire to get started.
 
-   Particl Bots
-		Particl Bots are Particl Desktop functionalities provided by third-parties. As these services are not decentralized, they are not activated by default and need to be manually enabled by the user. Particl Bots can have various purposes, most of the time related to a service, such as providing cryptocurrency exchange capabilities, providing data (i.e. cryptocurrency prices), payment integrations, and etc.
-
    Open Market
    		The Open Market is the main market on Particl Marketplace. It is enabled by default and is the only market you have access to when launching Particl Desktop for the first time. The Open Market is a general purpose market where anyone can buy or sell anything with no particular theme.

+   Particl Ecosystem
+		It describes the whole of any value or participant within the Particl Project economic cycle. Anything or anybody contributing or utilizing Particl’s economic model (Particl Coin) or any other Particl Application is a part of it. 
+
+   Particl Foundation
+		Describes a swiss based non-profit legal entity serving the Particl Ecosystem.

 Staking Rewards
