 # Union
 
-The Union network is a hyper-efficient zero-knowledge infrastructure layer for general message passing, asset transfers, NFTs, and DeFi. It's based on consensus verification and has no dependencies on trusted third parties, oracles, multi-signatures, or [MPC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_multi-party_computation). To summarize:

+# Voyager
+
+IBC relays on off-chain actors transferring packets and proofs between chains. Voyager is our in-house relayer, allowing us to support new networks without waiting for up-stream support.
+
+## Architecture
+
+We have opted for an event driven architecture, where the application uses an internal memory queue for observed events and I/O.
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+    direction LR
+    EventListener --> Queue
+    Queue --> Processor
+    state Processor {
+      [*] --> Actor
+      Actor --> Galois
+      Galois --> [*]
+    }
+    
+    Processor --> Chains
+    Chains --> EventListener
+```
+
+Voyager integrates over [gRPC](https://grpc.io/) with Galois to offload computation to dedicated hardware, with pending support for proving markets.

 We spent months building in stealthmode, heads-down, as we validated our technical assumptions. The product of that is the Union testnet, [CometBLS](https://docs.union.build/architecture/cometbls), [Voyager](https://docs.union.build/architecture/voyager), and [Galois](https://docs.union.build/architecture/galois). These components allowed us to achieve **IBC to Ethereum, the endgame**.`
 
-Union is designed around a few key principles: permissonless interopability, censorship resistance, and decentralized infrastrucutre. Anyone should be allowed to transact, with any counterparty, on any chain, and this system may not rely on massive, closed source infrastructure.
+Union is designed around a few key principles: code is law and barrier to entry leads to centralization. This means that we design our products to allow anyone to run them, not just parties with massive CPU/GPU farms. Proof generation must be a fair market to avoid censorship.
 
 With Union, we can bring any asset natively to any chain, hook into account abstraction with ICQ, and access coprocecors and storage proofs.
