 # Multi Network Identifier (MNID)
 
-Ethereum and uPort is headed into a multi-chain world. As end users are are interacting more and more with Ethereum and multiple chains the risk of monetary loss of users/servers inadvertently transferring value from an address on network X to an address of Y is growing higher and higher.
+Ethereum, and uPort, is entering a multi-chain world. As end users increasingly interact with multiple chains, on Ethereum or elsewhere, the risk of users/servers inadvertently transferring value from an address on network X to an address on network Y is growing. This could result in monetary loss. Since uPort is switching to a new test network, we need to solve this issue urgently.
 
-The Bitcoin protocol uses [Base58Check encoding](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding) to prevent this, but the ethereum ecosystem has used a raw hex version of the address instead.

 ## Extendible Encoding
 
-My proposal is inspired by the Base58Check encoding as well as [EIP77](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/77) but specifies adds a network identifier, which allows us to programmatically extract the network used by an address as well as provide a visual indicator of the network used.

 ### Benefits
 
-This works with ethereum based blockchains, but can easily be extended to use other blockchains or even non blockchain identifiers in the future. It would also be straightforward to add further details specifying which fork etc.

 ### Ease of Implementation
 
-This can be implemented very easily with few dependencies. It would be trivial to use this to add multichain support to uport-lite for example. Thus even allowing (if we want it) the interchange of JWT's verified on different networks.
