 #### v0.5
@@ -32,4 +25,4 @@ The v0.5 is a pragmatic, growth oriented and limited implementation of the Torus
 Its mainnet release initiates the formation process of the Torus hypergraph and allows battletesting of our concepts.
 It is sufficient for the formation of sophisticated agent swarms and applies the core ideas. 
 
-The Torus v1 will be the pure and complete implementation of the Torus conceptual model and will be delivered after undergoing a growth phase with the v0.5.
