New chains listed where the footpath goes,
Timelines smoothed and commas neat,
Bonding pools now step by step, complete —
A cheerful nibble, docs feel sweet.

15-15: Grammar improvement is well-applied.

The change from "the solver with a reduced bonding pool" to "a solver with a reduced bonding pool" reads more naturally and is grammatically sound.

---

13-15: Documentation updates enhance clarity and network coverage.

The narrative clarification specifying that reduced bonding pools are built "over the course of the following year" provides better expectation setting. The expansion to five additional networks (Avalanche, Polygon, Lens, BNB, Linea) appropriately reflects CoW Protocol's expanded deployment footprint.

Also applies to: 25-29
