 # Grin
 
 Grin is an in-progress implementation of the MimbleWimble protocol. Many characteristics are still undefined but the following constitutes a first set of choices:
 
-  * Clean and minimal implementation, aiming to stay as such.
+  * Clean and minimal implementation, and aiming to stay as such.
   * Follows the MimbleWimble protocol, which provides great anonymity and scaling characteristics.
-  * Cuckoo Cycle proof of work.
-  * Relatively fast block time (a minute).
+  * Cuckoo Cycle proof of work in two variants named Cuckaroo (ASIC-resistant) and Cuckatoo (ASIC-targeted).
+  * Relatively fast block time: one minute.
   * Fixed block reward over time with a decreasing dilution.
   * Transaction fees are based on the number of Outputs created/destroyed and total transaction size.
   * Smooth curve for difficulty adjustments.
