-## What are ICP?
+## What are Cycles?
 
-ICP are the native cryptocurrency of the [Internet Computer](https://internetcomputer.org). They provide utility for powering the network and are also used for governance.
+Cycles are used to pay for infrastructure usage. Your Satellite, Mission Control or Orbiter consume cycles while they are active.
+
+The amount of cycles available determines whether a module will be active, inactive, or eventually decommissioned (deleted).
+
+This ensures that related costs cannot surpass the amount of cycles available.
+
+Think of cycles like prepaid mobile data:
+
+- Just like your mobile plan allows you to make calls and browse the internet, cycles enable your containers to process computations and store data.
+- When your data (cycles) runs out, your service becomes inactive.
+- To keep your modules running smoothly, you need to top up your cycles regularly (manually or automatically).
+- If you don’t top it up, after some time, it will be decommissioned, similar to losing your prepaid number due to prolonged inactivity.
 
-One key usage is converting ICP tokens to cycles, which are used to cover the computational and storage costs of running modules.

 In Juno, we use some terms that may be unfamiliar to some. This page provides a summary of the most commonly used terms.

-An "Account Identifier" is an address, serving as the textual representation of an account on the Internet Computer (ICP) ledger. It can represent an account owned by an individual or a smart contract.

 ## Canister
 
-A canister is the term for a smart contract on the Internet Computer. It includes both logic and state (memory), bundled together and deployed as a WebAssembly (WASM) container.

 ## Doc
 
 "doc" is a commonly used shorthand in Juno for a "document of the Datastore". Wherever you see the term "doc" in the codebase or documentation, it refers specifically to a document entity managed by the [Datastore](build/datastore/index.mdx). This abbreviation is used for brevity and consistency throughout the project.

-The ICP token is the cryptocurrency used to pay for transactions on Juno's [infrastructure].

-It can also be converted into cycles, which are used to pay for computation and storage. Unlike the market price of ICP, the price of cycles remains constant, ensuring predictable costs for infrastructure usage.

 ## Wallet
 
-A wallet is your secure repository for managing and storing crypto money. Your wallet is controlled exclusively by you, ensuring that no one, including Juno, can ever access it.
+A wallet is your secure repository for managing and storing resources in Juno.
+
+Think of it like a prepaid account:
 
-Think of it like a digital vault:
+- It holds your available resources (cycles).
+- It lets you allocate resources to your projects and modules - e.g. with top-up.
+- It's automatically created when you sign in to the Console.
 
-- It securely stores your ICP tokens.
-- It acts as your gateway for transactions within the Juno ecosystem.
-- It allows you to top up your modules with cycles.
+Your wallet is tied to your identity, which is generated when you first log in.
 
-Because your wallet is also your [mission-control](#mission-control), which requires resources to stay alive, we recommend holding a reasonable amount of tokens. Think of it like a day-to-day wallet for frequent operations rather than one for savings.
