 ## About this site
 
 This site encourages you to move through a specific flow in order to start building the _future of coordination_. 
 
 1. Begin with **[tutorials](/)**. These are _learning-oriented_. They focus on practical skills, not theoretical knowledge. Our goal here is that you enjoy the experience and gain confidence, not that you become an expert.
-2. Grow with the **[how to guides](/how-to/)**. These are _task-oriented_. You can think of them like recipes. Following a recipe requires basic competence. Recipes do not give you context or history: they will help you do stuff. All the recipes taken together help frame a general picture of how SUAVE enables you.
+2. Grow with the **[how to guides](/how-to/)**. These are _task-oriented_. You can think of them like recipes. Recipes do not give you context or history: they will help you do stuff.
 3. Consult the **[technical specs](/technical/)**. These are _information-oriented_ and provide you with up-to-date certainty about the software we provide. They are our treasure maps.
-4. Refine your **[understanding of MEV](/understand/)**. This section is _discussion-oriented_. It does not present "the right way", but rather encourages you to reflect on "the deep why", ideally in dialogue with friends. Why does it matter that we work on MEV?

-SUAVE is our means of _keeping block building decentralized_ by creating an _open marketplace for mechanisms_ for any kind of MEV application, which require one (or many) of the following:

-1. **private data**, e.g., auctions, block building

-3. **access to fresh off-chain data**, e.g., trading strategies conditional on centralized exchange prices or transactions that are conditional on other transactions
-4. **commitments** of various kinds, e.g., shared sequencers for rollups, new kinds of DEXes and bridges
-5. **too much gas to do on-chain** because of how much compute they use.

-Any mechanism that strikes a meaningful balance between revenue optimality and efficiency will have broad application. SUAVE is a blockchain for many such applications and so exhibits second-order effects. For instance, keeping block building decentralized by creating an open marketplace for mechanisms could result in SUAVE being an effective, unified sequencing layer for other blockchains.

-We expect that SUAVE will find increasingly wider application as more people build better mechanisms with it.

+# What is SUAVE?
+
+SUAVE - the *Single Unifying Auction for Value Expression* - is a platform for building better mechanisms (such as OFAs and block builders) in a decentralized and private way. 
+
+SUAVE does not replace other blockchains: it is intended to aggregate and coordinate all the things that ultimately change the state of other chains.

+SUAVE is our means of _keeping block building decentralized_ by creating an _open marketplace for mechanisms_, which we call "SUAPPs". A SUAPP is an application deployed on SUAVE which requires one (or many) of the following:
