 - Minitia L2s generate blocks extremely quick at 500ms per block.
-- Due to the interwoven nature of Initia, often many IBC packets are generated within blocks. Hermes can handle batches of packets but on a single block basis.
+- Due to the interwoven nature of Initia, often many IBC packets are generated within blocks. Hermes can handle batches of packets but on a single-block basis.
 - Hermes handles these IBC packets sequentially leading to unprocessed packets accumulating very quickly when having fast blocktimes.
 - If Hermes stops, unprocessed packets will continue to pile up.
 - When Hermes misses a packet, it finds them using `tx_search` query on every sequence, this can take minutes for just a few hundred packets.
