 ## Introduction
 
-The **Mithril protocol** can be summarized as:
-
-> A protocol that enables stakeholders in a proof-of-stake blockchain network to individually sign messages. These signatures are then aggregated into a multi-signature, ensuring that stakeholders collectively represent a minimum share of the total stake.
-
 The **certificate chain** is a Mithril component that certifies the **stake distribution** used to create the multi-signature. Its primary purpose is to prevent adversaries from executing an **eclipse attack** on the blockchain.
 
 Without the certificate, the stake distribution can't be trusted. A malicious actor could relatively easily create a fake stake distribution and use it to produce a valid multi-signature, which would be embedded in a valid but non-genuine certificate. This certificate could be served by a dishonest Mithril aggregator node, leading an honest Mithril client to restore a non-genuine snapshot.
