+## Overview
+
+### Jito Restaking Program
+The Jito Restaking program focuses on:
+- Initializing NCNs and Operators.
+- Managing NCN authorities.
+- Registering relationships between NCNs, Operators, and Vaults.
+
+### Jito Vault Program
+The Jito Vault program is responsible for:
+- Creating and managing VRTs (Vault Resource Tokens).
+- Allowing users to deposit and withdraw assets.
+- Managing relationships with NCNs, delegations with Operators, and fee settings.
+
+---
+
+## Typical NCN Design
+
+### Onchain NCN Program
+The on-chain NCN program consists of several components:
+
+#### **Pricing**
+- Determines the relative weight of assets (supported_mints) deposited in all Vaults linked to the NCN.
+- Key considerations:
+  - Permissioned or permissionless design.
+  - Future integration into a generic [Weight Table Program](https://github.com/jito-foundation/jito-tip-router).
+
+#### **Snapshot**
+- Captures the current status of all active NCNs and Vaults.
+- Aggregates stake weight per operator for the current epoch.
+
+#### **Core Logic**
+- The core of the NCN where Node Operators:
+  - Post on-chain data proving they fulfilled their roles.
+  - Enable the NCN to execute actions based on these results.
+
+#### **Rewards Payment**
+- Calculates and distributes payments pro-rata based on the stake weight of successful operators and their Vaults.
+- Future integration into the [Rewards NCN](https://github.com/jito-foundation/jito-rewards-ncn).
+
+---
+
+### Offchain Components
+
+#### **Node Operator Client**
+- The core off-chain logic of the NCN.
+- Runs arbitrary computation and posts data on-chain via custom instructions.
+
+#### **Permissionless Cranker**
+- Automates permissionless operations on a regular cycle.
+- Examples:
+  - Jito Tip Router Program: Executes price updates, snapshots, initializes Merkle roots post-consensus, and handles rewards payments.
+
+---
+
+## Steps to Build an NCN
+
+### 1. Initialize the NCN
+- Deploy the on-chain NCN program.
+- Register initial relationships with Operators and Vaults.
+
+### 2. Establish Pricing and Weight Rules
+- Define how asset weights are calculated across Vaults.
+- Choose between permissioned or permissionless mechanisms.
+
+### 3. Implement Core Logic
+- Define the logic for your NCN’s specific purpose.
+- Ensure data validation and action execution align with your use case.
+
+### 4. Develop Snapshot Functionality
+- Enable the program to periodically aggregate and record the state of NCNs, Vaults, and their respective stake weights.
+
+### 5. Manage Rewards Payment
+- Configure reward calculations and distributions based on operator performance.
+- Prepare for future integration with the Rewards NCN.
+
+### 6. Create and Deploy Offchain Clients
+- Provide an open-source Node Operator Client for operators.
+- Ensure the client efficiently handles custom computations and data posting.
+
+### 7. Set Up a Permissionless Cranker
+- Build a client to automate routine instructions, ensuring the NCN operates without manual intervention.
