 The DAL node connects to the DAL network but it is not yet receiving shards.
 
 DAL nodes share shards and information about them over a peer-to-peer pub/sub network built on the Gossipsub protocol.
-As layer 1 assigns shards to the bakers, the Gossipsub network creates topics that DAL nodes can subscribe to.
-For example, if a user submits data to slot 1, layer 1 creates a list of topics: a topic for the slot 1 shards assigned to baker A, a topic for the slot 1 shards assigned to baker B, and so on for all the bakers that are assigned shards from slot 1.
+As layer 1 assigns shards to the bakers, the Gossipsub network manages topics that DAL nodes can subscribe to.
+For example, if a user submits data to slot 1, the network has a list of topics: a topic to identify the slot 1 shards assigned to baker A, a topic to identify the slot 1 shards assigned to baker B, and so on for all the bakers that are assigned shards from slot 1.
 
-The baker daemon automatically asks the DAL node to subscribe to the topics that provide the shards that it is assigned to.
+Then, the baker daemon automatically asks the DAL node to subscribe to the topic that provides the shards that it is assigned to.
 You can see the topics that the DAL node is subscribed to by running this RPC call:
