 Sending out incorrect information, for example that a certain transaction is included in a block when it isn't, is called *equivocation*.
 A sequencer that builds blocks with interop can choose to accept messages from unsafe blocks (received through the gossip protocol), for minimal latency.
 
-However, because of equivocation risk, a block that is written to L1 (*local safe*) can only be considered truly safe (the technical term is *cross safe*), for itself and the previous blocks in its blockchain are also written to L1.
+To minimize the risk of equivocation, a block written to L1 (*local safe*) is only considered fully safe (*cross safe*) once both that block and all preceding blocks in its blockchain are also written to L1.
+If the source block is written to L1 first, the destination sequencer can detect it. 
+If the source block is missing an initiating message that the sequencer relied on due to equivocation, the sequencer can identify the error and recalculate the state. In this scenario, no significant harm occurs.
+
+However, if the destination block—containing the executing message that depends on the initiating message—is written to L1 first (e.g., due to higher traffic on the chain), a different risk arises. 
+If the source block that is eventually written to L1 lacks the initiating message, verifiers will detect that the derivation of the destination block, and any blocks dependent on it, is incorrect. 
+In this case, the destination block and all subsequent blocks on any chain that depend on it are classified as deposit-only blocks.
