+### Account storage
+
 Storage for user-defined data. `AccountStorage` is composed of two components.
 
 The first component is a simple sparse Merkle tree of depth `8` which is index addressable. This provides the user with `256` `Word` slots.
 
 Users requiring additional storage can use the second component a `MerkleStore`. It allows users to store any Merkle structures they need. The root of the Merkle structure can be stored as a leaf in a simple sparse Merkle tree. When `AccountStorage` is serialized it will check if any of the leafs in the simple sparse Merkle tree are Merkle roots of other Merkle structures. If any Merkle roots are found then the Merkle structures will be persisted in the `AccountStorage` `MerkleStore`.
 
 ### Nonce
+
 Counter which must be incremented whenever the account state changes. Nonce values must be strictly monotonically increasing and can be incremented by any value smaller than 2^{32} for every account update.

 ### Code
+
 Interface for accounts. In Miden every account is a smart contract. It has an interface that exposes functions that can be called by note scripts. Functions exposed by the account have the following properties:
 
 * Functions are actually roots of [Miden program MASTs](https://0xpolygonmiden.github.io/miden-vm/user_docs/assembly/main.html) (i.e., a 32-byte hash). Thus, function identifier is a commitment to the code which is executed when a function is invoked.
 * Only account functions have mutable access to an account's storage and vault. Therefore, the only way to modify an account's internal state is through one of the account's functions.
 * Account functions can take parameters and can create new notes.
 
-*Note: Since code in Miden is expresed as MAST, every function is a commitment to the underlying code. The code cannot change unnoticed to the user because its hash would change. Behind any MAST root there can only be `256` functions*

 ## Account creation
-For an account to exist it must be present in the [Account DB](https://0xpolygonmiden.github.io/miden-base/architecture/state.html#account-database) kept by the Miden Node(s). However, new accounts can be created locally by users using a wallet.

-* Alice's Miden Client requests the Miden Node to check if new Account ID already exists

-* Bob executes a transaction and creates a note that contains an asset for Alice
-* Alice consumes Bob's note to receive the asset in a transaction

 * Accounts with **public state**, where the actual state is stored onchain. These would be similar to how accounts work in public blockchains. Smart contracts that depend on public shared state should be stored public on Miden, e.g., DEX contract.
 * Accounts with **private state**, where only the hash of the account is stored onchain. Users who want stay private and take care of their own data should choose this mode. The hash is defined as: `hash([account ID, 0, 0, nonce], [vault root], [storage root], [code root])`.

 Faucets can create assets and immediately distribute them by producing notes. However, assets can also stay in the faucet after creation to be sent later, e.g., in a bundle. That way, one can mint a million NFTs locally in a single transaction and then send them out as needed in separate transactions in the future.
